If the cash is more of an issue than the appearance you can always tackle the project down the road while on a vacation. 

This is also my issue recently on BP.

What happens if you get into the house and the rehab needed is larger than you originally anticipated?

Accountants are in such demand, that the best are not even accepting clients half the time.The other problem I see often with accountants on here is that they specialize in larger investors, and have really high prices when you as a smaller investor do not need all the bells and whistles.Another thing I see is folks thinking they need to have a tax professional in their state.

You run into the issue of one leaving and them bringing in a new roommate. 

I prefer the larger buildings because they provide more income per property.

What is the reason behind the inquiry..do they need capital for another purchase, looking to retire and cash out, possibly 1031 into a larger multi-family?

I will manage the property but having issues marketing on furnished finders without being the property's owner.

Starting this past year, we are focused on larger multi-family. 

I think it is a lower risk building this in the center of a city than on 4 acres with no utilities in the center of a rural area without comps or limited comps and only a vacation rental market. my buyer pool is much larger being in a big city and urban and buying infill lots like in columbus ohio. this is just our strategy, I'm finalizing the renderings and everything next week an in contract on our first build for builds in Texas but this is what I would do.
