The neighbors also mentioned that "he is well known around the neighborhood for sleeping in vacant homes and has already burned down 3 of them." 

300 jobs isn't a lot to bring to Memphis for a $3-4 billion dollar project (it doesn't take much to run a data center). personally I'm a musk fan, but we have to consider the ramifications to demanding this much energy.

Title says most of it, my realtor has a relative with a duplex with burn damage in Oregon in the area I'm looking to buy my first househack.

Manage cash flow by cutting non-essential costs, making the property energy-efficient, and offering flexible lease terms.

Save yourself the time and energy and reach out to local accountants. 

That is because they end up going a different route or not having the energy and drive necessary to succeed in the multifamily space.

I have a condo in Lakewood, CO (26th and Kipling) and have been self-managing for the past 2 years and no longer have the time/energy/patience for self-managing. 

But a cash out refi is good if you want to use those funds to buy a LTR. but you gotta find one quickish so you don't burn wasted capital 

For now, there's nothing wrong with doing your homework but focus more of your time and energy on finding a quality property to purchase.

If you're way off with these numbers you will go under, and then 2) getting burned by the contractor is a real thing.
