Was on the market for over 300 days so we gave them a low ball offer How did you finance this deal?

Also if the house is full of plaster the repair costs can go up because it can unravel from a golf ball size hole to a whole wall if your not careful (I live in a house from 1886)Not trying to discourage, just laying out some items that I didn't see and don't know if you had factored in. 

I realize this is how it goes at times in RE but it’s frustrating when someone drops the ball on something pretty simple and obvious that should have been a question to ask, given my buyer’s unique position with his work/income situation.

Tracy, do you have a ball park for what the Title/BPO/closing/ and recording is?

I have invested in the Pittsburgh PA market for nearly 30 years and if I had a crystal ball there are many properties I would have kept long term and many I would have sold.

Check your state landlord tenant laws.Insurance will not cover if they stop paying, it is on you, six months buffer PITI before you start playing real ball here!

I would say in the ball park of 20-25000 for a move in ready home.

It's finally finished (after 4-months) and we ended up getting a real low ball appraisal. 

If you are just looking to get the ball rolling and maybe not acquire a place for say, 6 months, then getting pre-qualified might be all you need at that point in time.Hope this helps.

My primary concern is the fact that I'm investing in the Pacific Northwest which is somewhat hostile toward landlords and makes it difficult to do business, meaning there is a high level of regulatory risk in my region.I'm not sure exactly what asset class to focus on, I just heard the BP Podcast #416 with Matt Onofrio which got me really intrigued about industrial warehouses, and I've also watched a couple of youtubers who have had success with Self-storage, but I'm really just looking for books that others have found helpful for getting started in any non-multifamily CRE asset classes.I was really inspired by Matt's story and would like to start learning more about warehouse investing, I'm in Portland and we have an Ocean connected port, River barges, intercontinental railroad connections, an International airport and of course a large interstate highway intersection, so that sounds like a good place to start, but I don't know the first thing about this asset class.I get the things to be aware of for multifamily investing to forecast income and expenses and evaluate a deal, but I have a feeling Industrial is a whole different ball game, and I'm looking for resources to get started.Thanks,-Mike
