While shopping for a small multi-family building (3 or 4 units), I would like to get an inspection of the building to get an estimate of repair costs if any problems are found (foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating). 

We have a decent amount of savings, at least enough for a down payment and closing costs on our next home, but the buying power just seems so limited in our area. 

interesting  ...you are  increasing your  1st mtg  by 1.3%  in order to  obtain the  HELOC ?   

I will assume the total cost basis for the property is $500,000.  

The uptick in multi-family construction, with 52 new units being permitted in 2024, underscores a growing preference for apartment living, further supporting upscale conversions or new developments.13210: The sales data shows a 28.5% increase in the price of 5+ bedroom homes, and other categories also saw price increases, such as a 15% increase in 2-bedroom homes, indicating healthy market conditions for larger family-oriented properties.

The relocation + cost of appliance  machines would cost over $9K total.

GC has a lower cost of capital relative to the average syndicator due to his social media presence.

I am researching what it will cost and looking for the right contractors for the job and trying to get estimates on the job.  

There is a lack of new building and with the Tesla semi-truck factory opening next year the pressure on the housing market is only going to increase.

I think it's because it costs money to train them and they (mangers) think it's best to just send them out and hope they learn on their own.
