Looking forward to connecting with some like minded individuals all over. 

Keep your end buyer in mind with your improvements, don't over improve for the area/demand. 

@Angie WilliamsHey Angie, would you mind sharing those recommendations?

@Jackson Long Zillow, Trulia (owned by Zillow Group), Realtor.com and the like spend mind-numbing amounts of money in order to wedge themselves between buyers and agents.  

I am currently still looking for smaller multi-family properties in so called B neighborhoods that still provide a good cash flow but competition is not as fierce.Always looking to network with like minded local investors.All the best,George

Hi @Matt Speer and @Mihir Bhimaraju Would you guys mind sharing on here or via DM any names of heating/cooling people you liked?

Account Closed Seems like you have made your mind up about not renting to this person so I'd say something to the effect of:"The unit is no longer available to rent at this time, we apologize for the inconvenience" This will get the point across without getting to far into the weeds.

@Jill Drebing Do you mind if I run these numbers past my underwriters and see if they think it is doable?

I am an attorney, so I am always keeping risk in mind, hence the following question: I am getting ready to contact a motivated seller in another county and would like to have some numbers beforehand.

Another thing to keep in mind is if you need to refi to get money out in a couple years in the future for your next down payment there is a big possibility you will be doing so at a higher interest rate.If you pay more down you are not reducing what you are paying monthly just shortening the number of payments in 25-30 years.It looks to me you are in a growth stage and having a stable predictable property with more debt (paying off at a regular rate).
