To mitigate these risks:*Have an Alternate Plan – Be ready, if the market slows, to rent out the property.

Good luck with your real estate plan! 

I know nothing is guaranteed, especially with the way real estate is today but I was only asking this question to see if my plan sounded good and if reaching out to that many people did in fact give me a really good chance at finding a deal.

Our calendar fills up fast 9-12 months ahead of time so we have to plan that far ahead.

I can imagine this is a challenging decision to make.My thoughts:When hope is a key component of the plan of action, it is time to cut losses.

My plan is to live in one of the units while renting out the others.

If doing a light rehab depending on the scenario sometimes an inspection is good if planning for just a cosmetic not to have any surprises later in the project 

I  did say i am planning to sell my business to free up some capital.

My plan is to start with house hacking, but I have some concerns.

And don’t underestimate the power of direct outreach; some sellers may be more flexible if you present a clear, structured plan for partnership or financing.
