@Rob Gillespie I have an opportunity to strike on an 8 Plex in East Cleveland, any chance you could be of any assistance in trying to value this one properly?  

If you have good relationships with your subs the better the chances are they’ll want to work with your timeline as well and perhaps be able to shave some time off.

This got me thinking about the long term expenses that most houses will need and does the overall ROI seem reasonable.So I googled some info and tried to estimate life expectancy of house appliances, carpet, roof, etc and costs (item + installation), then figured out the monthly cost out.

Given that it’s the Catskills, snow accumulates on top of the roof for almost the entire winter season.I asked my RE broker to have a roofer come out and give an estimate for the 2 office buildings.

Next, there is a high chance that you continue on and no one gets at you. 

My HML uses ClearCapital - https://www.clearcapital.com/ -- got a fair and accurate current and ARV estimate on a recent flip I did there after the first appraisal was WAY off.

The reality in Texas is that you have only a slim chance to collect on a judgment and even slimmer chance to collect on someone you does not permanently reside in the USFocus on what is important now which is possession of the property.

If this is something you're good at, I think you have a great chance investing out of state and banking on cash flow/slow appreciation.Are you from Denver?

When you get a chance please send the details my way for the next one scheduled, either on this thread or via direct message.

In my experience there is only a 1% chance the owner will purposely damage the house.
