Crazy but its my first diet deal.

I would take a look at where you want to be in a few years and see if investing in that SFH is in line with them.If your heart is in multifamily but you can't afford to purchase a property on your own yet, have you given any thought to a partnership?

Good luck and I hope you take this stuff to heart! I

In my opinion, PM firms do not have the investor's interests at heart. I

I recognize your heart is in the right place, but I live not far and I'm in those areas all the time and it just is what it is.

@Michael SmytheThis point is near and dear to my heart. I

This will help guide you through a lot of questions and resolve a lot of confusing paths.I'm excited for you, I love where your heart is, but keep working on getting specific on how you will help people.What do you have to offer?

It may be different in some cities/areas, but not this one.Thanks for the advice from everyone and I have definitely taken it all in and to heart. I

Saving money for most people is the same thing as the diet component of fitness.

You can call the county/city planning and see if a permit was pulled AND was it inspected and signed off as workman-like.If your heart is set on this house it's time to ask for big price reduction or cancel and move on.
