If there is anything you have particular concerns about bring them up ahead of time so they can pay particular attention.

hello my name is Sylvia and this is my first post so I apologize ahead of time for any mistakes I might make.I live in Cincinnati, Oh and I'm interested in buying a multi family as my first investment property, preferably a 4 plex.

I would go ahead and contact the seller in any event.

It seems the bank is acting fraudulently by intentionally withholding information that should be provided to the buyer well ahead of the closing date.  

Although he was new he understood what it opened him up too and pushed back alongside us!

After you can push them all you can cut expenses (Separate utility lines and charge to the tenant?)

You have decades ahead of you to screw up, recover, and try it again. 

Know ahead of time where you want to invest and do what you can to know which real estate agents, attorneys, contractors and property management companies are in those areas so you're not left scrambling for contacts when an opportunity presents itself.

I'm thinking if we can encourage the current tenant to vacate early, we can get a head start on repairs/updates and have it tenant-ready sooner.

All of this has pushed months supply to a new low of 1.7 months. 6 months is considered a neutral stance.
