I could get stuck with a house full of substandard furniture and accessories that I need to deal with.

I let other commercial agents know what my client is looking for to leverage their network of investors and help find a solution for my clients.Best of luck!

Really it's your own decision, but if you have zero money for a downpayment and your goal is to purchase an investment property now, a HELOC could be a good short-term solution. 

At one point when I explained to the sales guy the type of interoperability I needed between a CRM and a texting and RVM platform, he admitted that LM wasn't really the solution I was looking for.

Yes Lisa you can refinance out depending on what your situation is:- Full Doc conventional loans will require Income, assets/value of the property, and credit to qualify to refinance out- DSCR loans only require market rental income and credit + enough assets for monthly payment reserves 3-6 months (no personal income or other liabilities are factored in, just the property in question)- Refinancing into another private loan - this is only a bandaid temporarily to provide aide but will not be a permanent solution since most private loans term up or are due in 6-12 months after funding @Matthew Kwan@Carlos Valencia

I'm wondering if there are any strategies pros employ for multifamily inspections where it can be either done using other people's money or if a cheaper solution would work such as hiring a local property manager/agent to do a walk through.

to the contrary, you could argue that buying turnkey is "dead" right now because prices remain high and cash flow remains hardly possible - the only solution people are finding right now seems to be BRRRR (outside of getting great, overlooked deals)
