However, just having the form is just a small piece of the puzzle, there is finding the motivated sellers, building the buyers list, negotiating and keeping everything legal.

I got a HML lined up, now my partner and I want to make the next step finding our other pieces to the puzzle (contractor/attorney/title company).

There is a piece of the puzzle missing for me though.

If the house only needs $5K of rehab otherwise, and you won't be looking at very many places inside the walls or floors, it might be worth getting the inspection, as an extra $2K is a large addition to the rehab budget.Another piece of the puzzle is that it's easier to do the treatment when the house is being worked on anyway. 

Also, I'm a bit puzzled by how soft-story buildings are defined especially when it comes to smaller buildings (2-4 units).
