Your budget or lack of budget will probably have the biggest impact on how you move forward. 

sorry to say it but there is nothing dishonest to engage in a conversation with an Agent that has a house on market since 200 days and offer to buy at a lower offer price - seller they believe owns the Taj Mahal and expecially after pandemic they raise asking price way too high - once again, guys we are entertaining a conversation with a seller and if the house is on market since 200 days, guess what, I believe the agent and the seller maybe a bit motivated, or what? 

Given the current environment of high prices and high interest rates, it is not likely that a taxpayer will pay tax on rental income for properties purchased now.

Yes, I have spoken to a bunch of knowledgeable contractors but the bids have been very high. 

Unfortunately, many landlords are hesitant to rent to these migrants due to their circumstances.Given our personal connection to this issue, my aunt and I believe we can make a positive impact by providing housing for these migrants.

I'm hearing more about AP on takeovers that the new ownership did not seem to have knowledge of, and high AP at existing properties that have cash flow issues.   

I frustratingly see so many deal offers, particularly in Multi-Family space, where GP/sponsor is putting nothing or next to nothing into the equity portion and is collecting 2-3% acquisition fee/ 0.5-1% loan origination fee/ 1.5% yearly asset management fee/ 1-2% disposition fee and then 50/50 splits to 60/40 splits over fairly modest hurdle rates of like 14-15%, and it seems this latter structure incentivizes GP to take more risks particularly with debt options.

All the cohousing developments I've come across have a high degree of pride of ownership and community.
