The numbers worked at 310k but were much better at 285k. 285k was the max I was ready to go.

Max I can do is $50 per comprehensive report, mostly because I do small amounts from high potential hard to find leads only.

Max, I don't check BP forums as often as I should but just saw your post.

@Justin Priestly I am sorry you are running into this.

@Justin Priestly Do not enter the building yourself, it is too easy to carry them home.

I'm not sure if your max is due to down payment limitation or qualification, but there are ways to qualify for a higher loan because you will have an income generating property. 

Most common max is 10-15%

. - based on what you said and others, I'll probably try to buy 4-10 (whatever the max is) units in my personal name and/or my wife's name, get an umbrella policy, then start an LLC once when I've reached my max personal mortgages.

Would you have any idea on the price of certain repairs or upgrades-ie hot water and HVAC prices, kitchen upgrade, bathroom upgrade, crack inspection and repair range, leak inspection and repair range...Trying to figure out how much I could attempt to deduct off selling price in negotiations and what the max is that I should pay for the property.

With each tenant we've ratcheted up the rent to see where the max is for the market.
