So far it looks like that's the only thing I would need to improve.

For example can it use the equity to make improvements or purchase other properties?

If housing inventory is low or too pricey in the ‘hood you’ve set your heart on, you’ll only be in for disappointment after disappointment.Be proactive and expand your search to other neighborhoods that may offer the same amenities, such as walkability (handy tip: Check out the website WalkScore.com to see).

The part that you're missing is to build/rebuild your reserves and improve your credit.

Do you have a plan to improve your credit score?

Myself, Housekeeping manager (1), Maintenance specialist (1), Virtual Assistants (2), 1099s for cleaning, inventory, laundry jobs-how often do you do a “market survey” to check other properties?

Growing markets and areas tends to have lower cap rates, same with properties with upside by rent increase of by improvements.

When trying to initially analyze small multifamily properties (2 to 4 units) listed on the MLS in different markets, can one reach out directly to the seller's agent to get basic rent roll, expenses, and recent CAPEX improvement information to do an initial analysis of the numbers and asking price?

I am very familiar with construction and run crews and do about 98% commercial TI(tenant improvement) work in the city high rises.

I think I am going to hold out anyways to turn over the units, get it at a slightly higher appraised value hopefully with some cosmetic improvements and higher rent roll.
