A mentor will probably COME NATURALLY at some point if you really focus on networking.

I personally think networking and building these relationships are the absolute best thing you could be doing, but it will take more time to naturally build. 

From what I understand (and maybe it's wrong) it can be argued that due to unsecure nature of email that what you printed out is fake or that it was never "received" even though it was sent.

I guess my natural follow-up is how you know what the market price is.

There is no natural gas in the town. 

That is a Redflag 1.Without knowing the condition of roof, plumbing, exterior, foundation I question if 5% ex (,$400)  is adequate.

Most MF properties rent does not cover outgo unless you have adequate down payment. 

Austin TX had a problem with Stealth dorms and changed the limit from 6 to 4 in some downtown areas, and also San Diego had a problem with mini dorms and so you have apply to have 6 or more adults 18 and over in a SFR, and prove you have adequate parking. 

Sure, you can spend days drawing lines that connect boxes on some Donald Trump level real estate empire org chart in an effort to gain anonymity and avoid liability, but, at the end of the day, what protects business owners is adequate insurance and acting intelligently."

This one is easier as there's natural gas lines and I can just convert it over but still pricey ($5-7k)The seller doesn't have the funds to make the repairs so I'm trying to find a way to make this deal happenWithout getting bids, I'm estimating about $15-20k for rehabbing these items (FEEL FREE TO TELL ME I'M WAY OUT TO LUNCH)....this is on top of the $5-8k I budgeted to put into the interior.I'm not a flipper and was looking at this as a buy and hold cash flowing property.Looking where to go with this one:A) Reduce offer by $15-20k to $155k- Cons: I'm going to have to find a loan as I need my capital for other purchases in the hopperB) Reduce to $160k and get $5k in closing help- Cons: I'm still going to be out of pocket but b/n closing help and reduced downpayment would be able to get most of the work done and just put the rest on a credit card and use the cash flow to pay it down over the next 12 months.C) WalkD) Other options???
