For example, if my tenant gives me a black eye, how do I expense the steak?

Matthew Paul the contract specifies no inspection period and buyer to pay 10% non-refundable deposit upon seller acceptance.It's very clear even to an untrained eye to see when things aren't done to building code.Hobbit size doorways and floors built at ground level are obvious ones.

@Dumitru AntonThank you so much; you have a good eye!   

I have been living for well over a decade and have seen the market change before my eyes.

Through the wall is cheaper but an eye sore (for the neighborhood) and pain when looking for replacements.

It can't hurt to have more eyes on it.

I have gone out and done just that out here in ewa beach and found a few properties that look good (at least to my untrained eyes) ive got the addresses and the property owners names but now im stuck.At this point do i contact the owner myself and see if they are willing to sell?

They don't see the properties they buy, except through our eyes.

If you buy a triplex and spend all your capital, Murphy's law says three months later a hot water heater will go, a refrigerator will go and the roof will start to leak in that spot the home inspector said to "keep an eye on it but it's nothing to worry about."

These things are based on your local area and it would help a lot to have experienced eyes on this.
