Nick,On the surface looks good.

On the surface, this seems too complicated but perhaps I need more details.   

I find the following:Occupied unit needs roof leak repairs on the ceiling and the roof(approx 16sq ft)Occupied unit Surface mold remediated in the bathroom (approx 4sq ft)All 3 units need bedroom carpets replacedAll 3 units have the possibility of lead paint being used(haven't received disclosures yet)All 3 units need cosmetic repairs in bathrooms and kitchensExterior needs new paintTree hanging over roof, needs to be trimmedPossibility of rats as told to me by occupantsCabinets, floor laminate, electrical, plumbing, doors, windows are in good shape.The RE environment here is pretty competitive, the quicker I decide the less risk there will be of losing this property.  

I definitely need expand my knowledge on some of the terms and literature you all have posted. i'm sorry I haven't showed my appreciation to you all sooner, there is no excuse, I have just been sitting back and reading comments from you all as they come in. trying to think of the right questions to ask. or what questions I could ask. and I still feel like i'm not even close to scratching the surface on the sub2. strategy. again I thank you all for posting on here and giving me both sides of the deal.thank you,Justin Cortez

On the surface, that's not a bad deal.

We're looking for our first house hack as well so I'm hoping to see some deals surface in the next few months but the progress on the virus will be one of the major factors contributing to how accessible these deals become.

If there were problems with his program we would hear about it as word leaks out and negative reviews start surfacing. 

Surface mold can be cleaned off, but if mold roots into the walls and woodwork, most of that will have to be replaced.

On the surface it looks like it is only for security deposit replacement but we have used it for loss rent.

I am able to buy homes at the right price, fully renovate them with all hard-surface floors, new roofs, new HVAC, etc. and still have big ROI!
