Needs rehabbing and I'm looking to buy, hold, and rent.I have a ball park on rehab and am verifying with a contractor to walk the property.Am I on the right track for including the rehab into the purchase price to ultimately get my cash flow number, or, should I not include it into the purchase price and separately calculate when I would make my money back on the rehab cost given the cash flow from the purchase and other expenses?

Right now I'm just looking for advice on what to do now that I finally closed, and how to keep the ball rolling!

The Seller also makes money if and when the option is exercised.  

Hopefully, though the situation is unfortunate for anyone, there's someone out there that's willing to share a similar story with me and some of their successes on how they or someone they know successfully turned the ball around in their favor. 

If an investor sells a call, holding a short position, he gives up the control to the buyer of the call (the long call) who determines whether the option will be exercised.

I suppose you don't want to present a low-ball offer that embarrasses anyone and become known as "that guy," but I look at it this way....

I had the same desire as well, you can can read my story at this thread: I quit my CPA Job to Buy Large Apartments.You stated above of your goal:I too want to buy a multi-family / apartment complex in the USA.Now really rip this goal apart:WHY do you want to buy MFHow many unitsWhat type of deal -momentum, value-add, repositioningHow much money do you NEED to make buying MFHow much do you WANT to make buying MFWhere are the properties located - own backyard/different stateDo you have time to be involved in this businessWho will manageHow will you find the dealsDo you have the funds to closeWill you do a syndicationWho is on your team - brokers, cpa, attorney, contractorI can keep going...The purpose of this exercise is to get you very clear on your specific outcome.

If its over 100 days, low ball an offer.

This is a good option to really get the ball rollingI wish you the best of luck in your venture

Or am I able to get the ball rolling with my current score?
