Any upfront or expected large capital expenses in the first year?

My thought is that the first deal needs to be a really good one unless the investor has a lot of capital to learn with.  

Hello BP nation,I have a situation and looking for some guidance and help.I've purchased my first duplex last April/May, with intentions to house hack.  

Some of the companies out there that buy them include JG Wentworth, PeachTree Capital, Granoff Enterprises and others.

you might  get an idea from your mortgage person  regarding rate / fees / costs / payments  for this idea   using todays  pricing  just so you are aware  2)  your lender is likely  going to have to use the lesser of the  acquisition price or  appraised value  3)   ask your lender for the maximum loan to  value  they can go up to ...it may be only 65% - 70%   whereas  if you used financing to but the  property - you might be able to go up to a  85% ltv  is desired and thus  keep more of your capital  freed up  

Unfortunately i don't have enough capital to feel secure to do it exclusively.

I was able to exclude much of the capital gain from taxation due to the personal residence exclusion (https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc701).I moved to an area with a lower cost of living and am renting while I assess my opportunities for buying a smaller home at a lower price.

What is the best way for me to get a list of National Credit Tenants' new location managers?

A vacant multifamily is hard to finance, you may have to access hard money or raise capital from investors.  

We've seen up to 30% missed out.As far as pricing goes several other qualified national firms specializing in cost seg, are able to keep the costs down, by streamlining the process, and not out-sourcing any of the work.Bottom line, like @David Thompson said above, any property worth at least $500,000 should do themselves a favor and get free estimate, which most qualified firms provide.
