Hard to buy anything here in this area just off listings.

I have suspicions that my 2nd renovation draw went towards another property higher on their priority list which seems illegal, but I could be wrong. 

I found a house that I'm interested in and my agent has gotten me a list from the city inspectors as to what needs to be fixed/replaced (obviously I'll need to do wayyyyy more renovation than what's on the list, but it's a good start without ever being at the house so far). 

If your coach is from across the country, and simply going to provide you a pre-packaged underwriting template, a segment on "how to pick a market", and lives in the world of 300+ unit deals, when you are looking at 30 unit deals, I would pass and use the typical 10s of thousands of dollars towards your downpayment.

Not bad.Also, here is the IRS Pub 925 that has the list from Zachary above.

Newly listed 2-4 unit properties are up 55% in Westchester since this time last year!

Great List!

Analyze local listings on both platforms to understand pricing and configurations.

With the help of the agent we negotiated a list of needed updates to an older apartment building for electrical and plumbing retrofits to keep up with more modern standards.

For that reason, I am planning to list it myself vs. using my broker and paying a fee.
