My objective is to avoid offending the seller and the buyer with the amount of my assignment fee.

Trying to avoid too many inquiries or negatively affect my credit and debt to income ratio. 

You guys rock make me learn fast and hopefully avoid big mistakes on my first investment!

Before you buy anything ask yourself if that purchase will directly help you pay off your debt (for instance I just bought a part for my coffee maker to avoid me justifying buying coffee out) My husband and I have set a goal of no eating out besides one date night per month (cheaply, to keep the relationship alive) until the end of 2019.

It is clean and has almost every aspect updated.

I am curious to hear what states other investors avoid and the reason behind it.

My interest is mainly learning the ins and outs of multifamily investing, so if you have any books to recommend that will help me in that aspect, it will be greatly appreciated as I know there will be hiccups but want to be fully prepared at the same time.

Alternatively, if the same firm that is helping you buy is also responsible for managing the home, it avoids finger pointing should the reality not match with the pro forma.

A good way to do this is to identify what caused the extra costs on past projects and examine how they could have been avoided.

While I would avoid lagoons and waste water treatment plants, for sewage management options, the presence of water wells and/or septic systems should not be a deal killer, in my view, especially in light of the fact that the investors are bidding up prices for parks on municipal utilities.
