I have a full time painter, a couple handymen that I have a one day a week deal with, I trade for skilled labor whenever I can and I have go-to trades people for sidework in framing, drywall, plumbing and a number of go to small businesses that I know I'll get a decent deal from.

I have managed to get myself into a bit of a complex situation on my first deal and I'm looking for some advice. 

Please post more info about the deal.

There are still deals to be had, aging population, probate deals, etc. 

In your case, you are probably better off buying a break-even deal in Tampa then a deal with $200 cash flow OOS.

It’s too soon tell but from what I’m seeing the hit on the Federal workforce is also impacting contractors throughout the DMV… I expect panic selling which increases inventory, however, with higher interest rates, which will likely continue upwards if tariffs & deporting our cheap labor comes to fruition, first time homebuyers are shut out.  

Purchase price: $4,100,000 Cash invested: $2,000,000 79 unit value add apartment complex with roughly 800k in cap ex completed What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The best thing this community can do is encourage your son to run far away from a subject to deal.

However, you should be fine with their analysis.Don’t cheap out with free or $1500 reports.  

Oil can only get so cheap otherwise too cheap means production falls because cost of doing business is a net loss.
