I appreciate the input.  

Hi BP Community,I’m looking into my first out-of-state multi-family partnership with someone that already has experience in the local market and connections to the operational teams required to make out of state investing successful.

I believe that the Speedway area is where I would like to look first. 

I did reach out to the refinery, but I will need to follow up with them.

Most of the US real estate market has seen inventory continue to rise with a lot of relisting and stale dated listings, but Valdosta seems to be a “Great White Buffalo” (if you get the movie reference).

Here's a link to the data: https://mred.stats.10kresearch.com/infoserv/s-v1/vwxv-Zs5What this data shows at a Macro level is that the Chicago market is doing fine, but the market is too large to use that data to make any decisions about where you want to house hack.

FHA may have allowed you finance up to 96.5% of the loan to start the hack.

The only issue appears to be the missing breakers and it being turned off by the bank.

At your scale, you would likely need to go full steam ahead and get the required licenses.

How did you add value to the deal?
