Believe me I have been here before Short story : property was on northwest side of Milwtown ( about 4 years ago )~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Many different showings but was 99.99% tire kickers-> owner eventually got upset about the traffic – many shows <-What I learn on that deal – only show properties to true right now buyers ( interior )and keep a list of future buyers by meeting them at local coffee shop or another facility.

I would like to eventually get into larger properties and potentially office/retail and apartment complexes by doing 1031.

I eventually would like to get out of the everyday headache of resteraunt and working, I would like to start with a sfr or duplex, I wanted to go right to a 4 but feel like that may be a surprise and would like to work my way up.

I asked him how he would make money, he said "eventually sell it to a Chinese politiburo".

Gaurav, you have been given wise advice by our learned BP Brothers.Here is my .02:This sounds like your personal residence v. a rental property.So if the missus has already mindfully moved in, this is a subjective purchase. . . . rather than just about the numbers.If it is a good deal, and it is what your gut says. . . then suck it up and pony up the piddly $8500, the appreciation will eventually erase whatever perceived mistake you feel you have made.If you get an attorney involved and suing for Action for Specific Performance, it will cost you thousands to donkey punch the seller into complying.Of course don't just lie down.

Thanks for the warm welcome.Hey @Brandon Turner, I eventually want to buy and hold.

What they are doing is driving the price up on these so called investement homes and I believe they will eventually drive the prices up so much and overpay for these homes, the return will not be worth it.

Eventually, you will find someone who does good work for a fair price.If you want to do the expensive stuff (plumbing, electrical), you can still hire out the cheap stuff like painting and landscaping and free up more time.

The area is very good, the school district very desirable, and I would likely be able to eventually rent the unit out for $300 - $400 more per month than my monthly costs on it would be (mortgage + taxes + insurance + HOA); however, I intend to live there for 5 -10 years.

I would like to use the rennovation and coordination experience I gain from this job to eventually start my own real estate renovation and investment company.I would love to hear from experienced BPers who do something similar, or perhaps works in a construction/project management position for a smaller company.
