EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I think the house flows really well in person (open floorplan, high ceilings, large house with spacious room sizes) and you just can’t represent that in 2-D photosI’m honestly not sure how to do a video or 3D virtual walk-through or whatever, I haven’t looked into it and have no idea how much it costs.

I made a few thousand less than expected but I figure that's just the cost of doing business sometimes.Based on my experience I wouldn't let the remote possibility that a homeowner might go into greed mode dissuade you from doing these deals.

Quote from @Chris Wagner: Hello everyone,I have a property that had sewer damage that costs me $3300. 

Two of the kitchen cabinets were also cut in half.

Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I don’t have any horror stories but every time I go to run a check the cost has gone up.

I know that if a cost seg, l would need to back that out of my California return.Your answer seems to confirm what I suspected.
