Tons of practical advice from marketing, screening, dealing with lease violations, evictions, inspections, security deposits, and more.

This is usually done after inspections and the appraisal has come back. 

Currently I am trying to figure out how to make a compelling offer (knowing seller's alternative is to wait for the bidding war to ensue) -considering things like paying all seller closing costs, waving any requests for credits (based on issues that come up in the inspection), but most likely keeping all the contingencies.

Easy for her could be things like: -Not having to deal with agents-Few/zero showings to bother tenants (big issue for most LLs that sell in my experience)-Few (or no) inspections-Quick closingAsk her open ended questions and she will tell you what she is looking for. 

Scheduling an inspection on a 3 family property.

@Joe S.have it inspected by a pro the, quality and quantity.

I have gotten my septic permit, the septic system is installed and has passed inspection.



Just a few thoughts: - Get a thorough inspection- Get 3-5 estimates from GCs- Pick the right ‘genre’ of GC (fourplex and smaller usually falls under midsize or smaller GCs) - Always check license numbers and if you’re repairs or more than $25k, request references/info for 3 past similar projects with pictures or check social media and reviews - Get a service agreement in place before finalizing your deal and make sure the estimates cover everything in your inspection report and nothing is overlooked so there’s not as much unexpected cost that pops up.

If so, don't be worried, be cautious, informed and meticulous.

This was the second property that I was able to get under contract (the first one fell through when the seller would not negotiate after inspection findings).
