My favorite quote when I start getting lost in information overload comes from Charlie Munger:  "It's not supposed to be easy.

@Samantha Klein - You did what you were supposed to do. 

I suppose the home inspector may be able to provide most of this information except for appliances?

I suspect with your budget that it may be very difficult (though maybe not impossible) to find a building in Astoria or Long Island City.I'm not as well versed in Brooklyn but to Marcy's point, the L train is supposed to be shutting down in Manhattan for repairs for 18 months starting in (I believe) 2019.

The well-established flippers are supposedly too busy flipping to find their own deals.

I am supposed to be an expert in these matters with no prior experience,  I am in the health care field.  

Before I relent and go with the flow or stand my ground and ask for compensation, I need some advice.I am buying a rental property and it was supposed to finally close last week, contract date is 08/22 and closing date was to be 10/03.

I completely agree.On your comment about re-upping, suppose you busIness changes from deals that requIre less equity to deals that require 10 times more equity.

@bjorn Ahlblad Okay I suppose. with some conservative estimations (worst case scenario in mind) the cash on cash ROI was 10% net just over $100 per door and the cap rate was at 9%...

And if I’m suppose to find the property first, do I have my GC go out and asses it before presenting the deal to the HML or do I present the deal with a repair guesstimate?
