Still learning what questions to ask and info to seek out so thank you again!  

Sometimes I'm off my numbers but generally speaking you'll get better as you go so consider this a cost of learning the business.If you want to find someone "reasonable" I'd go to local meet-ups and ask around for contractor recommendations.

Lessons learned?

Update: just talked with my agent and I learned the seller has over 10mil in assets and will put in the contract that they will pay off their mortgage with cash if for whatever reason, the property is about to foreclose- there's also no due-on-sale clause on their mortgage - I will get an attorney to look over the contract

Allow me to learn from the people who have done this and been extremely rewarded, and the ones who have been in here and got absolutely nowhere.

I'm eager to learn about multifamily family investing and ready. 

I'm hoping to learn a ton, ask questions, and help where I can.Outside of real estate, I enjoy backpacking, my family, soccer, and travel when I can make it happen.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Excited to start learning more about RE investment.

I learned as I went, but I also had access to $280,000 in capital.It's hard to get aggressive if you don't have a good bit of cash to work with.

The more property you inspect, the more of an expert you will become in your area.Once you feel comfortable with inspecting properties, learning the right questions to ask, understanding your local market, and HOW to evaluate each potential deal, THEN you will know a good opportunity when you stumble upon it.You can transfer those skills into looking at other markets and will have some clues as to what makes a good deal.
