I've been on this platform and learned so much from fellow investors.

I know one of the main qualifiers is it has to be owner occupied - which is fine.Will there be any issues with this second purchase being in the same town as my first MF home?

Pace Morby and others have groups/books/podcasts/etc on this topic. 

Early in my career, this really bit me in the tush and I am seeing many investors walking right into the same trap.

This contributed additional appeal and incentive to the buyers.Also, it is always a good idea to talk with local experts.

I have a hearing next Friday, and I’m unsure how to handle this situation.

For example:Task              Estimate       % Certain       Low Estimate       High EstimateDemo            $1,000           80%               $800                    $1,200Roof             $8,000            90%               $7,200                 $8,800Construction $8,000         80%               $6,400                 $9,600Misc              $4,000            90%               $3,600                 $4,400--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------TOTAL           $21,000                               $18,000               $24,000For me this is useful to determine a good deal because if the high estimate is still good I know that even if everything goes poorly it will still be ok.

This is me on a beach vacation listening to today's Real Estate Rookie podcast. 

This market calls for patience and perhaps a little extra negotiation savvy, but for those who lean in, it’s packed with potential.Sellers, hang tight!

Hope this has been a great year for you!
