If you want to buy a cash flowing business, like a multi-family apartment, I would focus on getting a down payment of 25% together.

There's currently mortgages taken on the parent's house and his house to help pay for the care-givers, and the houses are not a part of the corporation at all.

BRRRR properties are great if you have the cash to complete the project in whole or have access to non-conventional financing.

I got my license in New York North Carolina and Florida but before I did my first located the broker realtor who was willing to let me be under their wing but didn't need to have office hours I was only looking for access to the MLS and the other things I wasn't interested in selling I got my license in New York North Carolina in Florida but before I did I first located the broker realtor who was willing to let me be under their wing but didn't need to have office hours I was only looking for access to the MLS and the other things I wasn't interested in selling  The course in each state was only six weeks I believe  not sure if things of change since then it definitely helped me save me tens of thousands of dollars

Note that the fact that it's public record does not mean that the municipality needs to make it easily accessible.

You could very well find galvanized supply lines in either and then it really just comes down to how accessible are they to replace.

I know I'm a larger apartment complex they expect the owner to deal with it.

When it's 112 that cold blowing a/c is not going to cool an apartment down to 68 degrees.

But again the 1031 nearly defers the gain unless you plan on the asset being a part of your estate, might be better to pay the piper now.

Glad to be apart of the community and plug into the wealth of information and knowledge provided by so many folks willing to contribute.
