Here’s the context:I own a rural property with two rental units:A manufactured home from the 1980s in temporary status with the county (meaning it can’t be replaced), which currently rents for $1,350 per month.A one-bedroom permanent residence that rents for $1,300 per month.My monthly mortgage payment is approximately $1,200, and cash flow is crucial to me right now.

I recommend that you don't deal with a gc in the beginning as a new investor because it's to many things that could go wrong.

Hi, I'm new to passive RE investing in US.

As far as closing costs go, see below:-Title fees-Title insurance-Hazard Insurance-Lender's closing fee, underwriting fee, or any other flat fee they charge-Origination fee-Attorney fee (if the property is in an attorney state)-Doc fee for closing docs-Prepaid interest through the end of the month you are closing-Recording and transfer fees on titleThat will cover most of your normal closing fees. 

I use pricelabs as a guide but it takes time "in the market" to see how guests are responding to pricing.

Having said that you can make money here, but choosing the right neighborhood (resort) is key.

And you’re right, those doorknobs probably did end up in the trash.

In essence, it is a cash offer.

@Marshall SmithCommercial Loan: Many investors use a commercial loan since the 4-plex would be in an LLC.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as I live next to the largest Navy base in the world in Norfolk VA.
