Build a map to scale your REI investment.  

They will be snobby about the neighborhood and wouldn't do the loan if it wasn't a nice area, and only on 1950 or newer properties, but you don't have to be a Texan to get this loan on a Texas apartment building, so they're picky about the property.

Or are these sellers just really under prepared for digital communication?

Looking to build a team that can help acquire my first small multifamily! 

It takes time to build up the reputation, even in a popular area like Sedona.Sedona does have a ton of STRs but it sees in the neighborhood of 5m visitors a year so I wouldn't worry too much.Getting on VRBO is a must IMHO.

It's a great starter property, so you can work out the kinks, figure out management, and build out your team.

My guess is because new and improved buildings have been built?

While shopping for a small multi-family building (3 or 4 units), I would like to get an inspection of the building to get an estimate of repair costs if any problems are found (foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating). 

The long game the appreciation is where you will be building more wealth than a 500 or 1000 per month cash flow. 

Total cost including acquisition price of $2.35m.I believe we will be able to create a total of 20-30 units in this building.
