It's definitely an invaluable resourceI would urge you to listen to all the podcasts - I know it's a big time commitment, but you will get so much out of it, even (especially?)

THAT would be invaluable to me.

@Bianca Garrett,The best learning tool there is = experience.

My plan was to get the house inspected and use that as a negotiating tool to satisfy a lower price because the family received the house through and death and just want to cash out quickly.

Unless you want to file employer taxes on them, give them benefits, tools, unemployment taxes when they quit/get fired, liability insurance, safety equipment etc etc.

No I used the same tool here on BP that I used for the larger multifamily. 

Leverage is a great tool if used wisely.

As an aspiring business owner I prefer having an established business entity, separate business checking/finances, business history.When I give my tax info to my accountant at the end of the year everything reconciles to one account or one credit card.Not that you couldn't keep track of all this information via other tools but I prefer it this way.

We don’t stand to make a ton monthly on our rental (100-200 cash flow), but our home has gone up in value quite a bit since we bought in 2019 and renovated.

When looking at real estate we know that very seldomly does an asset perfectly return an exact percentage and typically the asset grows in value over the time period.
