And that was only due to them dragging their feet.  

I'm a new investor and struggling to find properties. Any tips would be welcome and appreciated.

Hey Rashaniqua- I'd recommend using the average price per square foot of the homes that sold in that area and multiply it by the number of square feet you have.

Then create a patio/entry for each lower unit by a simple screen of an above-ground planter from the post to the stairs, or maybe at an angle to where the stairs begin.The rest is comparatively very simple... don't paint the brick, do the siding in a darker dusty green, the window muntins in a very dark gray (it'll match the black powder-coated hog wire balusters), get a very LARGE round fake attic vent for the gable,https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2196/8707/produc...and install a clete at the bottom of the gable which will look like a horizontal supporting member for the second-story columns.Lose those shutters, paint the entry doors a very deep, rich color, with the first and second story doors slightly different.

Drills down to identify client needs/wants2. honest comm about if they are realistic in this market3. responsive4. well rounded in all aspects of RE, Mortg, ins, RE, Const, title, etc..5.

We are all working on getting the final items checked off, but the sellers agent has been dragging her feet.  

Now that you know the basics its time to start getting your feet on the ground and prepare to act as an investor.

So the entire house is approx 4 feet above the ground.Yes, HVAC system located in a crawlspace.

Is it feet, yards, cubits (LOL) city blocks, water-meters, utility poles, sewer lines, or just plain up to the lender?

I figure I will start with a few single family homes just to just my feet wet then move on to some multi family units.
