Anyone who has faced the many GFE changes, compliance waiting dates, LE/CD change over, and more, already knows that it won’t be that easy for these giant companies to master this business.

All tile floors setup to be very low maintenance. old bIIldIng but most of the major work/ repairs have been done.Building is very near a redeveloping area, in 5-10 years should be a much nicer area of downtown, but they will still be low income apts.Its unique in the fact that it is surrounded by new buildings so it is its own ecosystem, if that makes sense.. problem is that ubless you dropped serious money into it its always going to just be what it is. low income. very small spaces, would have to empty entire building drop 100s of thousands on it and re rent with new image..

Still waiting to here back from building and zoning if I'm able to do an accessory dwelling or if I need to split the parcel and build a separate single family. 

How exactly do I find a property, get a contractor or 2 to provide estimates, submit my application to the crowdfunding site, wait for approval and submit my offer within a reasonable amount of time?

If you want to target these individuals, it's best to wait until the auction date is available on the Master of Equity for your county.

We cleaned up the land and the structures, added some basic infrastructure, and waited for the opportune time to decide on what to do with the parcel.

The first property you get will have closing costs and need probably several thousand dollars in a "general fund" to fund your advertising, maintenance, unexpected CAPEX, initial vacancy, etc.

Wait until you close.

I find that out of state investors from desert areas like Nevada, Cali, Texas, etc have no clue how bad the basement foundation walls in an old house like this can be.The good news is that a bad basement can be fixed but the repair cost can vary widely from cheap to multiple tens of thousands of dollars so having the right inspector on your team is critical!

New RE investors frequently try to save a couple hundred bucks by 'doing it themselves', and it ends up costing them thousands in taxes that could have been avoided.Best of Luck with Your Real Estate Investments!
