In my 40 years of contracting we always get 1/3 down regardless of the size of the job , change orders are paid at the time of the change . if its not specifically included , its excluded . 

In my experience, if a 3 bed in that area, with comparable size and finishes is only getting $1200, you will get $1200, not $1800.And to James comment: while I am all for treating all tenants as people first, owning and managing properties is a business first.

At any rate, turns out our framer uses Menard's doors all the time and was able to install those despite the plans calling for custom-sized doors.

Hi John,For something of this size, the seller might be willing to carry a portion, but odds are your lender wont approve of it.I would look for an equity partner if I were in your boat.

while Data Centers are booming, they all move at different speedsRecessions like a Fever are necessary to burn away the inefficient allocations of capital that go on during the recovery and expansion phasesDoubtful for a full RE Crash, but would be nice for the average American young family to be able to buy the average size starter home again, it's been awhile :)

It seems like the condo you linked is almost geared towards short term rentals, so you should be in the clear on this specific situation. 2) I would take a look at some STR data either via a dynamic pricing software (pricelabs, wheelhouse, etc.) or take a look at Airdna to take a look to see what is the “sweet spot” is in terms of size of rentals in your market.

You certainly would not want to allocated 10 units equally if number of residents and size were unique IMO.Here's a helpful link for those new to the concept:http://www.multifamilyutility.com/rubs.html

Given their size, I’m sure the broker of record has little oversight over the staff.

What size would be too small or too big.

If you are house hacking, think about number of bathrooms, size of bedrooms and layout of the kitchen (can more than two people work in there at once and is there enough storage)?
