@Bryan Otteson I feel your spot on with your advice. @ John Canon that's a good question I guess as of right now I was planning on living there for a year then maybe house hacking somewhere else.

@AndrewMichael is spot on with the reponse

There were some black spots in a tenant's bathroom on the walls and I think they were mildew.

So there's a little sweet spot there where Freddie is almost always better than Fannie because Fannie will want you to cough up 5% more.Fannie will do cash out for up to 4, Freddie will go to 6.

You are in the right spot to learn and be successful in this business.

@Sarah Lorenz you are spot on.

So I found a spot in the country I would love to visit.

The instant the house sells, this issue vanishes but the catch is I need to close Aug 30th, which means I need funds in about 12 days to get all prepared, give bank the note agreements, get cleared again, and close.It's an incredibly small deal (95k) but the spot I am in seems kind of tricky and the clock is running out.  

At most, a lawyer would just review the agreement and maybe spot one or two nitpicky things that could slightly harm you down the line.

We have converted multiple 3-families into condos and those numbers are spot on.We've spoken to others who work in higher end markets (South End, Beacon Hill, Brookline, etc.) and the cost per sq ft can be much higher.
