They cash flow very well with one property taking in $2,425 a month ($29,100 annually) and the other $2,245 a month ($26,940).I’m actually surprised at the hurdles I’m encountering trying to get someone to loan against these properties, even at a 50% LTV (conservative estimates are each building is worth $225k - $250k).Some of the more common objections I’ve heard are:“We don’t loan to out-of-state owners.”

I don't know what region you are in but for my market (San Antonio, TX), foundation issues are extremely common.

For all of the Shelter In Place period here the most common thing to hit the market were flips . . really shiny, pretty, nice flips. 

If you buy a new property, it should have very few maintenance calls other than a few guests who might leave their common sense at home.A key FL home issue is hurricanes. 

Feel free to look through all the agent profiles and see if there is a common firm that many of them are a part of. 

Common sense isn’t common anymore I guess... 

I would ask if the following common exclusions are covered or can be bought back, if you don't want to take the risk for the following: Mold and Fungus, Sewer and Drain Back Up, and flood.

Common unforeseen circumstances include, but are not limited to, delays in getting permitting or scheduling an inspection (though an expeditor may assist with this or a third-party engineer if that's permitted by the locality), the quality of the GC/subs/vendors and whether there is transparent and timely communication and conformance with the plans drawn up by the architect/engineer, zoning issues, setbacks/variances, what materials to use for the new builds (e.g., are you going to use cinder blocks or poured concrete for the foundation?)

It is common not to have comps for multi-family because they have slow turnover and there just are not as many duplexs as there are houses so the sales comparison approach is not very accurate unless you do have a good recent comp in the area and that is why the rent is very important.

Is there any common area that should be maintained such as a lawn?
