Hi Chris,Great to see that you've immersed yourself in learning and are gearing up to take action.

Take your time, do your research, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need more specific guidance.

Everyone was saying things like "I'm waiting for the market to crash" but I decided to take the leap.

If they didn't give you this they broke the law and you could take them to court if that's your thing.

There could be significant liens against it which could take precedent over yours if they are superior.

Take it from someone who has lived there for 20 years.

Expenses that don’t go up as fast take less of a bite as the ARV increases, leaving more room to (slightly) increase the purchase price plus rehab limit to 75% of ARV.We use this rule of thumb for screening, but always create a spreadsheet to estimate all expenses and run a P&L in detail for comparison.

I am only saying that to set up your expectation that it might take a bit longer that it would have a few years ago.

Additionally, a lender may require you to take out homeowners and landlord insurance.

think about how long it will take to recoup all the costs i just mentioned.if you want day 1 cash flow... open a savings account.i say this not to discourage you but to help set expectations.Nicholas is spot on.
