But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.

Quote from @Chris Grenzig: Very location-specific.

the market is unforgiving right now, and if you buy a random property by looking on Zillow and turn it over to people you don't know to manage, you'll lose money.with respect to your specific question, if the property is safe, clean, and priced correctly, it will rent. but that doesn't mean you'll make money on it. 

@Dylan Jeluso Brother, I have both a GC and a Real Estate license, and if someone had advised me earlier, I would have focused on building deals and relationships first.

Here's what I've learned:Inspections Are Non-Negotiable: Always get a full inspection, but don’t stop there.Plumbing & Sewer: Have the plumbing and sewer systems checked specifically, as these are common problem areas in older homes.Electrical System: If the inspector flags any electrical concerns, bring in an electrician during the inspection phase for a detailed evaluation.

@Fahima HilalWhen you wrote the scope for the architect did you advise him to separate the plumbing lines per unit?

I appreciate any advise and direction.

Excellant job and excellant post highlighting specifically what worked for you and how you went about doing it.

@Theresa Harris thanks for your advise, I appriciated
