One bad decision can kill the profitability of a unit for years.What happens when someone needs to be there for a rental inspection, or for the utility company to inspect a meter - do you go yourself?

Hello All, I am not sure if there is a rule of thumb to how much a design should cost but I received an estimate of $23K for Civil engineering work (site plan, storm drainage plan, site grading, soil erosion & utility plan), $25k for  Architectural and structural and $11K for MEP for 12 units townhouse (2 bed and 2.5 bath) on a slab. 

The units need to be updated.

We use Zillow payments for our 3-unit property.

Use your VA to buy a 2-4 unit for more cashflow.You could also do an FHA 203(k) which allows you to finance repairs & improvements.

not much then go for it.. very important then you need to wrap it and stay in control.Would you consider the wrap even if you have high level trust in the individual?

But if you’re not doing it every day, and haven’t done lots of transactions, and aren’t intimately familiar with the local market on a house by house level, then you couldn’t possibly know as much about things to avoid and best practices etc. as someone who does it every day for a living and has done lots of transactions.

If it's a family style single family home or multifamily unit, unfurnished, in non-core areas, the timing doesn't really matter as most likely your tenants a re locals who can relocate at any time regardless of the season. 

We wholesaled a 4 unit off of Ritter last year.

Your writing, if someone can get through it, speaks loudly enough for your (lack of) character to show.You couldn't read what I wrote, that's your response, a grade-school level insult similar to "well your a poopy poop-pants".... lol, ok....
