Although I have been following and learning from BP for years, we are both brand new to this, and I think we may be about to pull the trigger on a mistake, and I was hoping to get advice here before I cancel our offer.The property is in the 30349 area of Atlanta.  

We got it for $635k, thinking we'd be able to rent out 2 of the units (including basement) and live in one.

I think I'll just continue to pester them.

I think I mentioned it once when we were talking, but here's the link to all their forms and contracts. https://www.ok.gov/OREC/Contract_Forms_and_Related_Addenda/index.html

But a good piece of land for an STR should be gone, so you would be buying land you think is good, but might not be.

Still not sure what direction I'll go, but STM is definitely on the table - thanks for the insight.Do you think cash flow opportunity changes if you are able to purchase higher priced properties and get good rates/put decent down payments on, or is it just a Denver/high price city issue.

Think of your home like a car.

I think I've built out a pretty sound investment strategy but I wanted to get everyone's input.

I would, personally, let him exhaust all his funds on the purchase and then you come up with a loan that finishes off the acquisition financing and then holds the rehab funds in escrow in an account you and your brother sign off on for withdraws.I do not think I'd put a lean on the property. 

I have till mid-late 2025 to sell without capital gains tax (< $500,000 couple).I'm trying to figure out how to improve the performance of this property and have some thoughts about it, but would love to get feedback from other REIs.Option 1Add a ~800 sqft ADU in the backyard which I think costs ~$250/sqft (total $200,000) and I think could rent ~$2,000/month.
