ABA cost was about $5500 that included comprehensive operating agreements for all three and subscription to their portal.

I admittedly have a bias against condos for the following reasons:1) HOAs - both a lack of control over fees and assessments, as well as potential regulation changes2) they don’t appreciate as much3) you have to work a lot harder to differentiate yourself from your neighbors. 

Although you plan on having your mother live in the home to start you'll want to assess the home using the current rental rates and values in the area.

From there, it's normal DTI/Credit/Cash assessment for the new loan to determine whether you can afford the loan. 

Thank you for the comprehensive reply Frank!

@Akil MitchellFrom my experience, when buying a property, it's crucial to assess local building codes, potential de-conversion costs, and permit requirements.

This potential buy needs a little work done so I need someone to come out and just do a general assessment of the property.

They often offer coaching programs that can guide you through the fix-and-flip process, including how to properly assess properties during walkthroughs.

The Bond market agrees with that assessment and is dubious there will be more than 2 total cuts in 2025.

Assessing brokers based on their transaction history and success in the market carries more weight than simply focusing on the highest price offered.
