Thanks to everyone for the invaluable insights on various topics.Simultaneously, I have been reading through "Real Estate by the Numbers."

do you know how you will fund the acquisition? 

A builder’s risk policy is also worth exploring, as it can protect the property, materials, and equipment during your restoration work. 

Limiting issues and liability is the goal.

Congrats on the purchase!

You can do it with putting in only the one rent you will actually connect.

I feel like that has to be rare.Happy to connect with investors in the DMV and beyond.

If you provide more details on the home value, existing mortgage remaining and what the interest rate and payment are you may get some better advice.Is your dad willing to take that $100k of equity over time instead of all up front?

I've come to the same conclusion for my properties when it comes to dynamic pricing tools.

Apartments.com is fine when your tenants can get things set up.
