The problem is that once HUD removed the appraised value from their listings, properties started to sell for prices way beyond profitable levels.  

I may be able to put together another multi unit.

MF were 5kish per unit, now, 45- 70k per unit, and good luck finding one.

If you're talking about a 250 unit+ deal, busiest will always be the first day/week of the month. 

HI Stephanie,You can always start off by house hacking meaning you live in one UNIT or ROOM and renting out the other vacant units/rooms to offset your monthly mortgage payment.There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

Also id like to section 8 tenants as well  Focus on buying your first unit -  you are putting the cart before the horse and do not know what you do not know.

We have 40 units over seven different properties. 

This is my first post on BiggerPockets after reading some intro level real estate investment books.

Seems that someone who is VPBD would not be at this level of detail - but I don’t know how they work.In my research I found:(1) MW506AE is the application for exemption the comptrollers need regarding a 1031x, and needs to be sent in 21 days prior to closing.(2) MW506NRS is the withholding exemption.I think my CPA will handle #2 but #1 is essentially the main form in the whole timeline.I understand what these forms are and would like to get a title company that is also versed in them and not guess what needs to be done.My QI already said they will not fill it out and I guess doesn’t have all the information required for it.

A good rule of thumb is to plan on spending approx $10k on all the standard items for your unit like your washer & dryer, linens, small appliances, dishware & cookware etc., plus $2-3k per bedroom.
