Yes, there are added costs to this, but what is your time and energy worth?

I hired a GC to manage the build out, but there has been no consensus on who is responsible for the utility payments (Water and Energy). 

Affordability is about 1:3So yeah on the surface it looks like a big difference, but there's a lot of things not controlled for in the stats- There were a crazy amount of houses built in the years just after the war, so housing stock was easy to come by everywhere;- Homes had nowhere near the kind of features they have now - 2 car garages, dishwashers, OTC microwaves, W/D hookups, high efficiency windows, central heat & air conditioning, etc - all those doodads and niceties drive up the cost of housing;- Fewer mortgages were 30 year, so homeowners had to pay (relatively) higher monthly payments;- Rentals were almost exclusively apartments, so there was more supply for buyers;ETCI think these things tend to be more stories that make for good press but aren't really that grounded in reality overall.

Just had a great experience using Ben Meyer / https://www.mystarenergy.com/ for energy audits in the KC area.

that caused me to turn to music, I haven't listened to music while working out or on a walk or working in the yard for years, its always been podcast time, in the interest of maximum efficiency.  

Agents may also have macro data on historical data, local median sale prices, absorption rate, etc to help with your analyses and projections.Networking/build a team: Attend local meetups, virtual meetups and stay active on forums like this.A lot of this will be done in front of a PC unfortunately but if you cut out the noise, you'll be able to maximize your time.Lastly, something that has helped me tremendously with respect to focus and improving efficiency is the pommodor technique. 

Whether you’re a developer, investor, or entrepreneur, if you have a vision for tapping into the growth and energy of this location, let’s talk.

If the landlord was aware of his past, yet rented to him anyway - any lawyer worth their salt would make a nexus between those two pieces of information and create a liability claim.In addition to the extreme negative press you would get, it also takes time, money and energy to defend a lawsuit you will eventually win.

Aiming for conventional and not a DSCR loan due to costs and the higher down payment requirement for the latter.With that said, I'm curious to hear your take on what the most cost-effective & efficient approach would be to source a down payment.

Focus on multifamily properties, explore value-add opportunities, and use technology for efficiency.
