When I had my HML company up and running  we had a CFO   we had me the owner  we had a sales rep or two then depending on how busy we were we had 2 to 3 underwriters.. we had a post closing specialist ( make sure all the docs get to us and recorded correctly) and between one and two in the AP AR .. and one to answer the phone..  

@Prakash Nair Have you discuss with your bank, construction loan specialist?

I would also look at price per door, because that's far more objective than cap rate (particularly when broker math is involved)Generally speaking I would be equally, if not more, focused on the sponsor's comparable rents & properties, Capex budget, and physical due diligence.

I contacted the city police specialist and they informed me the area is safe and not like the city. 

I'm also aware of being objective and just looking at the numbers, I just want both.

@Molefi Branson there are multiple options to spending your capital but it really depends on you goals and objectives.

What should be the primary objective of a newbie investor for the first 6 months. 

For a flip that you intend on selling, you probably need to disclose the mold and damage, so having a professional company do the mold remediation is good -- you can show the eventual buyer the paperwork showing it was done correctly by a specialist. 

Heck, when it comes to inanimate objects weird coincidences can happen.

However, a shiny object caught my eye and I can't get it off my mind.
