I was on the main page of BP forums clicking on the pages at the bottom.

The multi already has a tenant living upstairs and the bottom floor can be rented immediately once I tile the bathroom and repaint.. thank you any advice from fellow buy and hold investors or any one!

When you open escrow you deposit a financial or written instrument, such as a deed, with a neutral third party (the Escrow agent), under an agreement of two parties to a valid contract.

Bottom line: Gaining access to education, mentoring, and other people's money is the way to go if you're going get serious about real estate investing.

When you look at how they're compensated for lease-up and repairs you'll see that what you see as expenses, they see as income.Not to say a PM will do bad things on purpose, but the inherent structure of the relationship isn't always favorable to your bottom line.Some people partner with their local family members.

A "comp" might be on the other side of a fence from a property and not as good of a comp that's two streets away.One technique:  If you use a smart phone, download the realtor.com app  Use the "search nearby" and click on "scout" at the bottom. 

Widening the search area does not help because the price range of the adjoining neighborhoods might be lower or higher.What I would love to be able to do would be to search an entire metro area and only receive results that are priced in the bottom 10% for the zip code, or that are priced 25% less than other homes on the street, etc.

Pull a piece of siding from the bottom of the house somewhere and switch it with that piece , do it where bushes will hide it

@Sherwin Riley The picture on the bottom looks like a rendering, not an actual photo of a real home.

@Chai Sag type the @ symbol and the first three letter of the persons name and it will pop up in the bottom of the window.
