Was previously purchased with a Builder to erect a SFR residence on.

Keep in mind, it would be in your best interest to go for as high as 4 units on each purchase to maximize your door count. 

@Jerry Velezif a property is owned outright with no mortgages, debts or liens on it, then it can (potentially) be purchased on seller financing. 

I'm looking at purchasing a small multi-family rental property in the Allentown or Philadelphia area, and I plan to use the BRRRR strategy.I'm struggling with the best way to analyze potential properties to ensure a solid ARV and would love any advice on effective tools or methods you use.

Is this for a primary purchase or build to rent/sell?

Purchase price: $271,000 Cash invested: $30,000 Duplex with 1 bed, 1 bath in each unit + 3 car garage in a great neighborhood.

When I purchased it I simply based my offer on the numbers that made it work using the BP Calculator.

I’m getting re-acquainted with the BP community after purchasing my first house hack in the Pittsburgh area, and would love to make some connections with other like-minded young professionals and investors in the area.And if there’s anyone out there who’s just getting started and looking to make the jump to buy their first property, I’d love to offer up advice, share my network of contractors in the area, and answer any questions that I can from my experience over the last 6 months!

The latest red flag is his belief he purchased a "fully renovated" property in Philadelphia for $115K.

For a purchase generally application would be to review an ID, asset statements, and LLC docs if neccesary.
