I did this primarily to keep any travel costs low and convenience for my lifestyle.I then selected the markets that had the highest available jobs to unemployment ratio.

They were a bit higher than Lowe’s but Wesley offered more in terms of flexibility and reliability.

You see the low starting price.  

Indianapolis is still a good cash flow market but inventory is very low.

In more astute owner/property manager interactions, the contractor will be TOLD to decrease their price ASAP or the contractor would be terminated for any future consideration.I would most definitely contact the contractor to get the low down as to why it is more, since the property manager won't do it.It sounds like since you are doing a la carte service as opposed to full service, you are getting some bad answers from the property manager. 

It's unlikely that you would be showing a loss on a 50-unit, unless it's in a high-demand/low-cap rate market, where you're really getting appreciation and not a lot of relative cashflow.That being said, you don't do get to "hold on to" your RE losses.

We see that many people are moving farther and farther away from Raleigh to escape the high housing cost due to low inventory.

Now after the seasoning period of 6 months to a year I plan to refinance and cash out to repay my parents and hopefully make a profit assuming the appraisal value is higher than my purchase price of the property. 

Condo's are appreciating quickly here, low inventory on the market, high demand for the investments upcoming on the resort mountain.

Houses will be low 400's to high 400's (1,900-2,300 sf) depending on the model.
