In 2014, she bought the 650-square-foot space on East 12th Street for $749,000, and planned to continue living with her parents on East 11th Street during the renovation.Four contractors estimated the work would cost around $120,000 and tried to steer her toward a more traditional look, raising concerns that creativity could cost her buyers

Would you continue to press for the re-inspection?

I'm not sure if I should go ahead and get my RE license to dive into the business while I continue to learn and grow or not?

The best advise would be to educate yourself as much as possible and try to network (as you are here) with like minded individuals and most IMPORTANTLY take action.

However being passive in syndications may work for someone busy with other activities, say flipping and generating enough cash to reinvest and to continue flipping. 

If you call them with an aggressive or defensive tone of voice, the likelihood that the activity will continue, or even increase, is strong. 

@Sam LaGrassa @Aaron Hunt  The actual market numbers for Suffolk County, MA for Q1 2018 vs Q1 2017:Median home price: UP 15.9%Average home price: UP 14.4%# of homes for sale: DOWN 33.5%Days on market: DOWN 6.5%Months supply: DOWN 29.7%  (1.2 months)Now that's not to say that those numbers will continue, but that is the actual historical data for last year.There's still an incredible shortage of homes on the market. 

How do I continue to accrue more properties?

First keep educating yourself on content, then you may be able to pick a niche or investment style. 

If so that wouldn't fall under Dodd-Frank, but definitely make sure you know what you're doing...5-7 properties after a few weeks of real estate education is quite a bit.
