I would recommend that you don't ignore it; repair the drywall, monitor it and see if the drywall cracks in the same locations again.

(The Black Friday sale on the Bigger Pockets bookstore was where I did my own Christmas shopping so my family knew what to ‘buy’ for me!).

Very desirable place with high end shopping.

Mainly the panel is in the basement and it would require a ton of work and paying for labor hours + repairs. 

Hi Zoe in Milwaukee, Wisconsin-You have $25,000 to invest and you would like to scale your portfolio efficiently and wonder what the best approach would be to do that.First off, congratulations on starting your investing journey and having $25,000 to invest.If you could find something near you with equity when you buy it, then house hacking will get you into a property with the lowest amount down--make sure to leave room for reserves and repairs in your budgeting and then refinance as soon as you can to pull money out to buy the next house the same way and keep the first and so on.If that is not possible near you because of prices or other factors, then I would look at buying a BRRRR in a market like Lansing, MI.

An experienced agent would have worked with the seller to do the repairs before they sold, and captured the forced equity in the sale.

Conducting inspections and due diligence on the condition of a property to derive realistic estimates for repairs is still the key.

While these vendors are typically reputable and skilled, you might not get the best price compared to shopping around directly.

However, our tenant turned out to be problematic—late payments, issues that led to an eviction, and additional repair costs before we could relist the property for sale.Now, after months of making mortgage payments out of pocket, we finally have an offer.

@Stefan Ikner, you are correct on the credit repair.
