Would any of you consider the following property a possible investment deal?

If they do have their contracts in order then you know they mean business and care about their work and reputation.I suggest either writing up a schedule to have your contractors follow or ask your general contractor for a schedule.

I'd personally go the Section 8 route, but make sure to follow the advice of @Dennis W. and be sure to plug in Taxes, Insurance, and Reserves for Repairs / Maintenance, Vacancy, CapEx, and Property Management (even if you will be doing it yourself).

Before we got prequalified I had a long conversation with our lender about our plan, which is basically to follow the BRRRR method.

I'm just beginning the transition to larger multifamily, so any advice is helpful at the moment, and you seem very knowledgeable and proven in the space.

Most big banks will follow FHA guidelines, but some of the local banks / credit unions have more aggressive products and can lend with higher LTV or DTI limits once you have some experience.

I reach out to the sellers in a nice manor via text and stated that i noticed the property was empty, i want my keys and i wish to move in early because i have tenants lined up to move into my current home and i dont want to live in a hotel with my kids for a week.They responded to my real estate agent that they woudl give me the keys the following day and i could move in on a specific date if i released the full deposit now.

I will more than likely be following scenario 1 this one seems like it's the best option for me depending on the deal I get for the second property.

We have been following the 85 corridor secondary markets identifying small multifamily.

The property is in a really good area so I can flip following reno in about 30 days if I go that route.
