In our largest listing, we have a triplex with a total of 11 beds and 10 baths with each bedroom set up to be potentially rented by the room (electronic lock on each bedroom door, and most with a private bathroom).

So it's not really "extra coverage" for a landlord, but rather a setup that can potentially create problems and less coverage.

The IRS has challenged simultaneous "drop and swaps," so allowing some time between these steps is advisable.You hit this right on the head with your answer with TIC.You could also potentially do a Exchange Post Distribution (Swap and Drop).

@Emily ShinHouse hacking a multi-family property is an excellent way to start investing in real estate, especially in a market like Columbus, Ohio, which offers affordability and growth potential.

Had we scheduled the closing in the morning, there would not have been an issue.The only potential upside is that a disaster area declaration triggers changes in mortgage rules that could beneficial to the buyer. 

What do contractors typically charge to come out to a potential property and walk through and fill out a SOW with pricing?    

Make sure to research lenders, get pre-approved, and calculate your potential ROI before bidding. 

My advice would be to specifically retain a potential eviction attorney from the start, in order to be prepared for how this *may* go. 

In the event that you don’t have money to build a cash buyer’s list first by using bandit signs or pulling lists and contacting potential cash buyers, you have two other options:Option 1: Attend local real estate meetups and or your local REIA meetings.

Would going to local real estate meet ups be the best way to find potential investors I could partner with?
