Once the investor understands these three FOUNDATIONAL aspects of real estate investing, they can comprehend the creative and wealth building techniques and strategies and successfully apply them to individual deals.  

Last night, I learned that there's a problem with the home: during the inspection, six gas leaks were identified, and repairing them will cost approximately $7,500 in labor and materials.

I recommend going with conservative number as you're analyzing and see how that works out for your deal.

Any advice for finding / approaching owners for off market deals? 

My current focus is on securing my first deal under contract using PropStream & Off-Market strategies I am eager to connect with experienced investors who can provide insights or advice to help me navigate the early stages of my real estate journey.

It could mostly be connected to costly upgrades to the system where the finance won't go.

Whether you have a deal under your belt or not.
