I began the year with a ton of action, including the following highlights: Joining a mastermind group and hired a coach Read nearly every multi-family book I could get my hands on Attended several Multi-family oriented conferences (3 to date, a couple more booked for the year) Networked at every chance including connections on bigger pockets, local meetup groups, mastermind connections, and linked in connections where it seemed mutually beneficial Started a podcast which officially launched in March (now recording our 20th episode this week!)

@Supada L.Yes, burdensome unexpected costs are part of REI, but I'm curious about the inspection reports dating from last year that you mentioned. 

Turns out you can add pics from web page but not through the app.

Though it wont be as up to date as an agent with the MLS.depending on how big of a lot you want you can also check out landwatch.com, they often have some good listings.If you have any more questions feel free to connect.

Personally I have never used a realtor for an off market purchase As of the date of this post.

If you wanted to share on a public forum, from the following I could determine (or contact a lender):  start date of loan, starting loan amount, length of loan (e.g. 30yr fixed). 

However, to your point about the contract, we wouldn't necessarily have to perform the contract in the event of not finding a buyer, IF the contract has a clause(s) allowing the buyer to back out prior to a certain date.

Comps that were bought maybe 6 months prior to the last sale date and renovated give you the most accurate depiction of where you need to buy it at. 

I think the preference is for more recent sales vs more dated sales, especially in a market like this. 

This creates an issue for the close date for the buyer & close date of new home.
