Quote from @Manuel Moreno: Hey Bigger Pockets community,My family has been in commercial real estate development for years, and one recurring pain point we’ve constantly dealt with is unexpected site costs. 

I completely understand almost all of the frame work and bases but just need actual advice from someone one on on.

We have one property in a local market but are looking to expand into markets that have more promising outlooks (Population growth, jobs, etc)

However I am a bit nervous to move foward with one, I don't feel that I have enough information on the subject.

@Jacqueline Lynch - I'd recommend to go to some meetups.There are meetups with @Brandon Rush, @Devin Peterson, @Stephanie Cabral, @Ryan Luby, CTREIA, CTPOA and some other ones that I'm not as familiar with. 

Hi @Chris EhrhartThere are two prices in a negotiation, one is the offer counting multiple factors, mainly Cap rate and visible repairs when is a investment property.The other one is when you do an inspection.You listed 5 items here so I'll comment on each one:- Electric panels, this is likely to be found during inspection.

In some cases, after running the numbers, I’ve even faced potential negative returns, causing me to miss out on promising deals here in South Florida.That brings me to my question: I currently own two homes—one is my primary residence, and the other is a rental property.

Great day to all,I've just been soaking up all the online youtube videos from Bigger pockets one after the other and I've made the determination to scale my business massively using the multifamily addition into our (wife and I) portfolio. 

Launch is one of the few who work with newbies.

Hi BP Members,I shortlisted one RE property with $350K purchase price and with good long term tenant income ($4400 PM current).
