In case of continue the deal I would request and appraisal and inspection but still, as you mention, not sure if it is a good deal.  

I'm also growing a network of potential partners and investors, and will likely turn to them if that ceiling continues proving to be problematic - and will do so for larger properties even if I'm able to break through the ceiling on my own.

Although I am outside of my comfort zone and feel like an absolute tool (I'm lost and that's uncomfortable), my faith, drive, and want to achieve my family and life goals continues to motivate me to get outside of my comfort zone and push for continuous improvement.  

I’m about to close my first deal and am eager to network with other investors, agents, wholesalers, lenders, and cool folks as I continue my journey. sup

I understand fast solutions have slow problems.If I'm myself, I continue to lean into REI via BRRRs in growing areas of buying established but undervalue in very good areas to keep it a growing % of my portfolio.

It is good for me to continue to reflect on my definitions and risk tolerance. 

Flipping is probably a little more intense, but can still be done with a day job, but again, my average flip versus my average rental: flip has made much better returns.And as for generational wealth and handing down something to your kids... well, I guess I view it as: if I can hand my kids a $10mm trust fund held in public securities, or $10mm real estate portfolio, they are going to be pretty set either way, but a real estate portfolio will continually have costs and work, a brokerage account is a bit more set and forget, with some periodic rebalancing.

It raised a question of whether it’s the tenant responsibility or the landlords to continue to replace.

And I wish you all continuous success in the Real Estate business.
