Unfortunately the listing agent was playing games and we ended up withdrawing the offer because we no longer felt like we could trust the Seller or the listing agent.

Just not sure a fix-and-flip multifamily approach would necessarily be the best play right now.

For a GC/carpenter, the highest‑leverage play is value‑add buy‑and‑hold using BRRRR or a light hybrid: buy dated but solid properties, do targeted cosmetic/mechanical upgrades you can execute fast, place a quality tenant, then refinance and recycle capital .

Remember Warren Buffett's quote - "It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price".Same goes for rental properties. 

That was a fair criticism a few months ago - but not so much anymore, and less by the day.Multi-model reasoning today is lightyears ahead of where it was even 12 months ago.

You would have to figure out what percentage is fair. 

Staying updated on market trends and tenant preferences in the region will empower you to make well-informed decisions.Every experience, whether favorable or challenging, plays a role in your development as a property owner.

I'm not sure about how old anything else is but it has been remodeled twice before my landlord bought it.I want to give him a fair and reasonable offer on the property.

     - Because you’re doing 50% of the work, your timeline is longer → rental cash flow starts later.This is the long-term wealth play — but slow.Option 2 - Flip ($60K profit)Pros     - Gives you instant capital to reinvest

That being said, I have a fairly low opinion of gurus in general, especially ones that describe themselves as "academies."
