Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.Thank you @Michael Smythe this is very helpful! 

Another key change is making sure your contractor actually sticks to completion deadlines...why, because of how extremely tedious permit inspectors are getting in some cities, which can slow progress in and of itself.

(taxes would be extreme, especially for the properties held since 2000's.)

It’s extremely helpful. 

So far this journey has cost me over $22,000,   still without a cash flowing multifamily property...to say the least I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated.  

@Armani Pimentel Yes, I believe that wholesaling is generally not the way to go, because it is getting banned, there are people who try to take advantage of aspiring entrepreneurs like you, and it is extremely low probability. 

This allows us to close extremely quickly, which is an important competitive advantage.I don’t know how to read our own tax returns, and I’m certainly not going to read yours.

However, you have to be extremely careful financing 100% of the transaction as you still need reserves, closing costs, etc. and make sure it cash flows.You didn't mention if this would be a rental or owner occupied. 

This is the list to not invest in without extreme careful attention to detail.Don't go where the masses are going.
