Any advice is greatly appreciated, below are a few of the questions I am kicking around curious if anyone with experience can weight in:1.

When you say so many issues, find out the cost and see if you can get a credit or reduction in price.

Correct me if I am wrong but Joe Schmoe with no experience and no education can call himself a financial advisor.There is no governing body that administers the term 'financial planner' so I put litte weight into that title / profession, whether it is fee based / non-fee based. 

This can be quite expensive. 3) Make sure you buy furniture with a high weight capacity. 4) This arrangement doesn't attract the best tenants.

Total rents increased by ~14% (weighted average).

One advantage of seller carried mortgage or private notes is generally a reduction in income documentation.

I haven't seen a ton of reductions yet...but inventory is slowly starting to creep up which will definitely have an effect.

Sometimes, our sanity and a reduction in workload is a valid goal.

Now if he gets you by the hand and shows you how to buy with no cash and credit, and you are able to buy, then his snake oil is worth it weights in gold, but he will have many excuses his business is selling snake oil not real estate.

We are going to do another price reduction.
