Any advice on this and experience/tips from others having gone through similar deals would be greatly appreciated!

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

At this time the primary goal is passive income and then scale within 5 years as I gain more experience and network. 

Hi there, I'm David Kanarfogel, an attorney based on Long Island with extensive experience across commercial real estate and CRE finance.

Having experience in so many parts of our process makes it easier to answer questions and uncover the motivations and expectations of investors.

Keep in mind, such an appraisal may not be able to be used by your lender, but perhaps you can request an appraiser with investment property experience (wherever they may be). 

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

With my background in hospitality and a drive to create exceptional guest experiences, I decided to take the leap.

I’m getting re-acquainted with the BP community after purchasing my first house hack in the Pittsburgh area, and would love to make some connections with other like-minded young professionals and investors in the area.And if there’s anyone out there who’s just getting started and looking to make the jump to buy their first property, I’d love to offer up advice, share my network of contractors in the area, and answer any questions that I can from my experience over the last 6 months!

Since I don't have the experience that I aspire to have yet, I'm looking to create a relationship with some guidance without being taken advantage of.
