@Logan Day Welcome to the BP Forums and to the world of RE investing! 

Well, let's just say out of this World-A Sphere, we were ready and waiting to sell, and here's why.

It was in pretty good shape overall for its age having had various updates through the years,  but in a perfect world it was going to need work to correct awful floor plan (made by combining two small main floor units into a larger one) and the roof was going to need replacing in 5 years,  and it needed some other upgrades and modernizing if I was going to keep it longer.   

If you were looking at a 20-unit commercial property you might look at a much more extensive round of documents, but for a 1-4 unit you're still in the residential world and the open market tends to simplify the sale process for 1-4 units.  

Hiring a quality contractor made a world of a difference for this project.

I am excited to jump into the real estate investing world!
