One of the utilities, South West Gas, based in CA, gave me a hard time putting the account into my own name. after several calls, faxing the court-stamped eviction order, verifying my deed through the County, etc,  the operator finally agreed and started to backdate the account change to the beginning of the process!

If curious, here are the last two: Jan 2023: Multifamily Real Estate is At Risk of CrashingFeb 2024: Multifamily is at High Risk of Continuing It's Historic CrashI think that the title for my 2025 analysis (likely Jan/Feb publication will be something more like:Multifamily is Finally Going to Hit Rock Bottom in Q2/Q3 2025 - Get Ready to Buy a LOT of itAs usual, I like to publish my draft thoughts here to get input from key players in the space and these forums, especially folks like @Brian Burke, to see if I am missing any high level areas, before I get into the weeds and look at the data more deeply and regionally. 

If you include the costs to build in a purchase of the primary structure, then you can typically roll that into the final loan product.

Finally on 5/14/2021 (day 348) the refi was closed and funded. 

Finally, who have you interacted with from management and what, in your mind, would make communication, functional?

Do you know how many times I called and emailed with no response untill I mention I will seek legal help and finally someone replied to me.

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

I am very excited To have finally closed on my first investment here in Liverpool NY as a 19-year-old investor as of last week and be auditioning for the Bigger Pockets rookie podcast this Monday!

What kind of resources do you recommend for finding a good first choice? 

Finally, as an aspiring/budding lender, I don't have as much access to mentors, but then again it's easier than rehabbing/flipping and probably easier than buying and holding and managing multifamily.
