Also, before you try to find some exotic ways to beat your capital gains, make sure you do have those gains.

If it's done by your PM, then they should provide a report detailing the repairs.

I have been recommended to find the best team in market- REA, Contractor, etc.

If you can't find what you're looking for, try the Bigger Pockets Fileplace.

no one really wants to hear this though... they want the shortcut.there are also ways to recycle capital, like the BRRRR method, which works but is tough right now with interest rates so high and deals tough to find (and 10 other things, but those are big ones).

It' a function of price now, and if you can find a deal that is priced accordingly, then you buy it, especially if you like the fundamentals long term

If I find anything, I will share on this post. 

Since being an agent I have learned so much about investing, found local mentors, as well as finding BP! 

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
