Nonwarrantable condos will have to have nonQM financing (which is usually more expensive).

The 3 condos are under-rented and cash flowing at about $1,800/month combined positive after all expenses today.At 75% LTV... refinancing the condos alone (assuming a value of $900k) would put the cash out potential amount at $247k.

Good data is more expensive and there's no way around itIncomplete data sets - if you're only getting a few phone numbers and a few email addresses you are missing out on deals.

It's just 40%-100% more expensive than last year.One thing I'm seeing is that carriers are limiting "loss of use" coverage.

Further, I’m also willing to bet that the contractor’s average daily balance is low; and going out on a limb I’ll bet that he himself has bounced a fair number of checks (probably the result of deposits that were returned insufficient).

Quartz is more expensive though right?

So you’ll save about 1% of the expenses per year.

Single-Family Home with a Basement:Pros:Familiar single-family living with potential rental income.Can be a good starter home, quieter living if the basement is well-soundproofed.Potentially lower initial investment compared to a duplex (depending on renovations).Cons:Finding tenants might take longer, especially if the basement isn't a fully formed apartment.You'll be responsible for all maintenance and repairs for both units.Less separation between your living space and the rental unit.Multifamily Duplex:Pros:Clear separation between your living space and the rental unit.Potentially higher rental income with a full, separate unit.Faster tenant search as it's a more traditional rental format.Cons:Might be slightly more expensive upfront than a single-family home with a converted basement.Potential for noise complaints if the duplex isn't well-built.Dealing with potentially two sets of tenants (though vacancy rates are typically lower with duplexes).So, which one to buy first?

I wouldn’t recommend just buying g a more expensive building because you have more funds.

Thank you,I'm new to this type of investing (more familiar with buying businesses) so I'm cobbling together information from brokers, chatGPT and everything in between to figure out what I need to (at reasonable cost while controlling risk profile) complete an acquisition.Facility is in rural Kansas, and is composed of a portfolio of 4 buildings on 3 parcels. 195 unit count - ~10 years old on average, some are newer (2 years) others older (15+ years)I'm trying to learn what I should watch out for in the process and what studies will be needed to get a good level of comfort before acquiring the facilities
