Hey all,A frustrating situation I (first time residential home buyer) am in;Our inspection came in on a 2 story 1500 sq foot 1920s house(as-is) in Roxborough with 2 major concerns:Basement - Joint rot that was addressed by adding vertical supporting beams towards the end of each joint (but they lack 'snowshowing' at the base and might be advisable to add additional for support)Electric - Knob/tube wiring and 0 grounded outlets through entire the houseThe issue is our inspection doesn't have an estimate, only a recommendation to get an additional specialist inspection for that to obtain an estimate.

We had one this summer that we hauled eight 18' foot dump trailers of trash out of - this included an entire Kitchen full of rotten food - the owner had moved out 2 hours prior, not sure how anyone lived there.

What are my options to get my foot in the door to buy my first investment property?

Basically, they are being paid 3 times for the same foot of the wall.

Lowe’s sale paper-.49 square foot Style Selections Woodfin Oak or Fulham oak.

When discussing numbers, I noted that many of these homes were priced higher per square foot than recent sales in the area.

It is also a fantastic way to get your foot in the door with REI and some great first hand experiences of what it means to manage a property. 

Here's how I think we can get in on it.You can buy a Single Family Home in an area with a price per square foot, let's say Santa Cruz for fun.

Main house will still have garage and rent for $3,200. 800 sq foot ADU $1,800 - $2,100.

I wanted to get my foot in the door, meet many people and gain as much knowledge as I possibly canto that I can progress with knowledge and connections on my side.
