When you're ready to purchase additional properties - how do you get approved for the additional debt with your 2nd... 3rd... 4th..

I am getting ready to visit my first few properties as an investor :) Pretty pumped to be taking an actual step instead of reading and listening to podcasts (which are still great by the way). 

.$2,000 to make Ready Home (750 sq foot, 1 story home) ________________________________$95.00 - Landscaping / Clean Out Flowerbeds$150 - Exterior Painting$150 - Landscaping / Tree Shrubs$250 - Haul Off (Limbs, Tires, Furniture)$225 - Full House Cleaning (One Story)$495 - Wall and ceiling repairs/Paint Touch up the house from nail holes and scuff marks Seal the joints in the bathroom Walls, trim, and doors touch up Seal above the kitchen cabinetsThis all seems excessively high to me... isnt this $15/hour work with a handyman?

Time frames for rent ready?

You are not ready to work with tenants if you do not know the laws that govern your business.

The house should be ready to rent by early April with a goal of having it rented by May 1.I plan to refinance the property in May once the project is complete and the house is rented out.  

This is especially true, since you can potentially have 3 tenant turnovers a year and will need to do some sort of make-ready repairs at each of those timesMissing vacancy - you're assuming that you'll have to problem renting the property out every semester/summer.

My advice would be to:1. stay in contact w/ seller2. ask what price and what TERMS (fast close, cash, etc) they would take immediately or without hesitation3. see if you can visit the property in the meantime 4. get your $ ready so you can go when they're readyAll the best!

Hi there,I am getting ready to purchase a multifamily property in FL. 

In general the property is well kept and it would be move in ready with just some minor repairs.
