I’ve decided I want to start out with small multi family properties and use either a buy and hold strategy or the BRRRR strategy, depending on the time investments.I love engineering, I’ve been working as a full time engineer for 8 months now about.

In order to do a 1031 exchange you must have purchased the property with the intent of holding for productive use. 

Before I sign on the dotted line, I would like to get ideas on the best use of the available seed money I have.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Basically I have no idea where to start and have no idea if my estimate is even in the ballpark.

I was able to get a good deal on the house I was interested in due to this fact but it’s a half done flip/reno so there’s a lot of work halfway started throughout the house. 2 areas in particular I’m unsure of what to do with is the walls and attic, any suggestions or ideas of how you would be finish would be greatly appreciated (adding links to specific products are a bonus lol)! 

Here's my experience and understanding of the law about security deposits.You cannot hold back money for anything that is normal wear and tear.  

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Getting a router from Best Buy is a good idea as this will be with streaming signals. 

I love the idea by @Clint Jusino to do seller financing with the parents, but it depends where they are going and if they need a bigger downpayment to get something else.
