For example, if 3/1 in an area typically sell for $200k per home are their any listed at $150k or below because they need work/rehab?

Hey BP family,I am new to real estate investing but would love some experts insights so I don't get burned on my first dealThis is the property: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/724-N-22nd-Ave-Bozeman-MT...My thoughts are my wife, 8 month old and I could live in Unit A for a year or two while we rent out Units B & C to help cover the mortgage payments until we build/buy a more desirable family ranch home with min 10+ acres which we've been looking for but have yet to find.My hesitation is I've never been a landlord and am reluctant to get in over my head with property problems while simultaneously growing an online business and being a new father.After some negotiation we counter offered 895k with a 2-1 rate buy down for 20k and the sellers have verbally accepted but since our offer expired we need to resubmit.

They said that we could get grandfathered into the program and offered the same terms to us.

Not everyone offers STR insurance.

That you wisely build in the costs for replacement linens and towels (also offer black face towels), possibly don't use high-end top-down shades in the Bunk Room (although those black out shades match all the shades in the rest of the house and it's a high-end property), chalk can be brushed, semi-gloss on walls for easier clean-up... and yes, there are clear check-out directions to run the dishwasher provided via an online guest book, a physical guest book, and an email I send regarding check-out the day before they check-out.

I like your idea of offering something that others don't have, for example, office space.

Typically closing costs are around 1.5-3% of the purchase price depending on buy down points, tax proration, etc.

. :-) Now prefab slabs typically start at ~$300 for 8’ (not counting discounted for some reason which is less).  

I typically turn that feature off though.

I appreciate any advise you can offer.
