I was in escrow on a 4plex in the Sac area but the deal fell through and I decided to buy a primary residence first (the months kept going by and I saw all my expensive Bay Area rent money flying out the window).

I'm just noticing a lot of personal recommendations flying back and forth between members of this site, and I was just wondering if there was anything wrong, or something I should watch out for if I go the Home Advisor route to finding good people to do work on my multiplex.  

Of course, depending on your market, maybe try it FSBO for a week or so, but if it doesn't fly off the market at or over asking, hire a good agent. 

If you are rehabbing, get a good plan up front and don't make alot of changes on the fly.  

We would love to put tile everywhere, but that wouldn't fly in our market, so we use vinyl planks (I avoid carpet if at all possible).

Then when you go do your first one and the seasoned investor comes on board as a partner you gain credibility.You need to learn how to crawl first before, walk,run,fly. 

With spec house building, unlike things like buy & hold or rehab, you haven't made ten cents of money until the day you're selling the house, and in the meantime you are watching money fly out the door like it has wings.

If new investor, try investing local , then go driving distance and then try flying distance Wish you the best :) 

I’m waiting to fly out to Mississippi before making an offer on anything but I’m wondering if I should just do it.
