Watch out for the village requirements and make sure your team knows what areas require rental and pre-sale inspections. 

Also Ca tax sales wipe EVERYTHING out the only reason for a pre lim would be a access issue.. which of course one can do on their own..

Also have you done any pre-dd-  driveby, discussions with broker, property managers and other real estate professionals about this property.   

I'll add, since you're pre-closing it's worth reaching out to the seller/current property manager to see what they currently do.

@Kenroy BernardTo acquire a multifamily property in Long Island, develop a VA Loan Strategy, obtain pre-qualification from a lender, factor in renovation costs, conduct market research, build a team with experienced agents, network with investors, strengthen your business plan, expand knowledge through tools, and take action by searching for properties, attending open houses, and setting a closing timeframe.

I also think micromarketing is best for newer investors.Some things to addTailoring your lists - like focusing on absentee owners, properties with long-term ownership, or pre-foreclosures—can improve your response rate.Consistency - It’s rare to get responses from a single mailer.

We still own this property, but we have: 1) leased to market rent, 2) successfully implemented RUBS to save roughly $3,000/year, 3) Reduced vacancy/bad debt from pre-acquisition T-12 of 15% to less than 4%.

I checked out ab968, looks like pre / foreclosures might be a good way to go if I can find them. thanks everyone for the responses, really great info. im actually starting to see more deals on properties in need of renovation so I’m hopeful I’ll be able to find some good flips when I’m ready to pull the trigger  

We do also offer this as a pre-purchase service, prior to purchase to see if the site is viable.

I just didn’t know my credit was so long until I chose to get pre approved.
