So my advice is: go spend a couple hundred bucks and bring your buyers contract to an attorney and see what an attorney in your state says.

Manager told me they had to lay-off hundreds of employees so I’m sure others are feeling my pain.

They have hundreds of hours of online videos of how to invest properly in apartments.

A few months down the road, my partners ended up buying me out for unrelated reasons.I know a lot of people wouldn't be willing to give up so much of the deal, but other than a couple hundred bucks I spent on postage, and my time, I had nothing in it.

I have a case now that started as that exact issue, sellers had a slimy contractor "make repairs" that amounted to a couple hundred bucks of cover-up, certified that all was well and then a year later the roof caved in.

There may be a point where you grow out of that, but I've had some very large clients (several hundred million in properties) that still had the principals signing.

Cash flow is less than if I bought in C class areas, and I sometimes have a few hundred dollars out of pocket while living there, but long term my value appreciation, rent appreciation, quality of tenants, and other wealth generation levers are going to be much better in the higher value area.

By using the property you're buying as a primary residence, you are saving potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars over your lifetime.

I don't need to know down to the hundreds, but I would like to know if it's closer to 50k or 100k.My biggest concern is that there could be fundamental structural issues or whatever issues not readily apparently that ends up costing tens of thousands more when rehabbing.

@Jeffrey Sommer Just to give you a general idea - anywhere from $20-$45k depending on who the contractor is (there are wide range of levels of experience and work quality), and you will run into unexpected issues no matter what - from roof issues, to electric to plumbing to unlevel floors, to rotted joists and a hundred other things I can think of from the 50 projects I have done in Philly.
