But yeah, once the COVID regulations went in and the federal government claimed that kind of power for itself through the CDC, the outcomes didn't need a crystal ball to be correctly predicted.

My SFHs come with more costs like gardening, power washing, exterior painting, roof, etc.

The problem you have is; if you really want to know how well the heating and cooling system is, and the condition of the roof, plumbing and electrical system then you need to hire a plumber, electrician and roofer because believe it or not general contractors do not specialize in those trades unless they have a license specific for each or any of those trades.The problem I run into when calling contractor for inspections is I get a lot of b.s..

Then add in the winter storm in Feb where there was record cold temps for a record setting duration and add in power outages.  8 units with frozen pipe related issues some with expensive emergency repairs.  

When you are starting out, time can be powerful because you can use "sweat equity" to do more and save money.

HVAC, plumbing, electrical, carpentry or general construction.

I had calculated our equity at 80% Ltv at 192k which would give me some serious purchasing power for my experience.

Even if you did get the possession order, if a tenant is injured because the electricity was cut off, you'd probably be liable.

I want to purchase another duplex or triplex what is my bestOption in completing this process without running in to DTI problems with a lender I currently work in electrical industry full time (linework) and make about 100k salary a year!

However, keep in mind that when you purchase a multi unit it increases your purchasing power.
