The high bidder by definition may be overpaying for the property.

The quote I’m getting is for 4200 and that seems a little high.

If you decide to move forward with them I highly suggest you alert them to the fact that you will be recording all phone conversations, and do just that.

Would highly appreciate it!

New roof, solar, paint, lvp in the living room, granite countertops, cabinet handles, fixtures, carpet on stairs and upstairs, refurnished entire house.

Three thoughts related to the issues mentioned on this thread:- demand for quality CPAs, especially specializing in real estate, is higher than their/our capacity- in my firm, all first-year clients get an extension- collecting 100% fee upfront is fairly common in tax firmsYou may want to find this old thread interesting: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1042619-strai... 

You have to really look hard to ensure you can find a quality PM.

Unit A is about 100 years old and Unit B is almost completely new.Pros:-The duplex is in a very desirable neighborhood with home value appreciation year over year at about 50+%-Rent is also in high demand within this area-Cash flows well even with high interest rates and increasing property taxes-Home is price below average cost per sq ft-The house has been renovated and some parts of it has been remodeledCons:-All issues are with Unit A, the 100 year old unit.

I highly recommend starting by tuning in to the BiggerPockets podcast.

One thing to consider is where you are purchasing and the quality of the home.
