I was wondering how many condo investors measure HOA health?

Maybe even hired allergy consultants to measure allergens.

However the room transitions is where the old hardwood floor has some issues of a rise or fall (haven't taken a measurement of the exact rise or fall yet, guessing < 1/4" generally). 

Another thought is to sell our house, 10.31 exchange the equity into a new house (aim to keep new mortgage close to what we are currently owing) and the $10k cash goes towards house preparations to sell our home and then moving costs etc.

In general we like to take a measured approach that breaks up the DD into 4 areas: financials, initial walkthrough, compliance, and paid inspections/services. 

Do if it needed 15k in repairs I would aim to pay no more then 85kI know that may sound like a tough number to get.

But for example, if I am looking to buy a duplex for $130,000 and say the percentage of the total price that I need to be aiming for is 10%, I would need to be able to collect a monthly income of $1,300 from that property to make that property a good investment.

What measures do you all take to make sure you all come in at the right numbers for your ARV when you do an 80% LTV with the bank?

I would measure the earnest money request with how awesome the property is and the price someone is paying.If it is an amazing deal then I do not mind putting up money.

My question is, should i buy a 2-4 family home as my first (i do not intend on house hacking) or should i wait it out longer so i can save money and aim to buy a 5+ unit. my end goal is to have 200+ Doors.
