Are you planning cosmetic rehabs or tackling structural work with your dad's skills?

I would also look at the joists and structure.

If so, the study pays for itself very quickly, but you need to make sure the fee structure makes sense for a single-family asset.I’d be happy to run a free estimate for you so you can see the projected savings before you commit to hiring anyone.

If so, how are you structuring pricing and expectations?

One of the homes has been vacant for about six months due to an eviction and subsequent repairs, and the lack of structure and communication has been costly.

If you don’t need the capital and the unit is structurally solid, fixing and renting often wins on a long-term wealth basis.

I’ve seen this work, but only when it’s structured very deliberately.

Many investors use cash for the rehab portion and either cash or traditional financing for the purchase, because high refinance or closing costs can eat into returns if the deal isn’t structured carefully.

It’s structured, step-by-step guidance from people actively doing deals.

Single-family and commercial investing are very different: single-family homes are usually more approachable and influenced by comparable sales, while commercial deals are driven more by income and deal structure.
