"CoC looks to be low, 4.84% (predicted to hit 10.85% by year 10)"

if you're paying all cash for these deals or funding yourself, that's decent. if you're raising private capital that's miserable. 

"if it's diversified across a good number of properties"
this is why I wouldn't do it. if I'm buying MF units, I want them close for easier PM and under the fewest number of roofs.

"I'd love help working through what all would be needed in order to secure financing (not sure if that cash flow is enough to make it so that an investor would be 100% willing to dive in)."


what's the purchase price and the Gross Scheduled Rent? (total rental income if units were 100% occupied) is the DSCR 1.25 or higher? additionally, do you have anyone on your team with experience in MF who has closed on something this size before? banks TYPICALLY don't lend for big projects to brand new folks. you need someone called a KP on your team (Key Principle) to cover the experience, net worth and liquidity requirements of a bank. this protects both you and the bank.

so $100/ door?  

35% for PM, maint, capex, vacancy, ins and taxes. (obviously find those Individually) 
$2,000 - expenses is $1300. minus PITI of $1200. $100 cashflow

if you rent for $1900 though, it's a NOI of $1,235. with PITI of $1200. $35 cash flow. woo!

have you considered syndications? roll your 1031 equity into a passive role (or active if that's your thing) on a much larger property. MAY increase cash flow and leverage the equity. that being said you can also refinance (run the current numbers) and leverage the additional capital to do the same thing.

it doesn't really work that way...I could drop $200k into my bathroom. that doesn't correlate  to increased profits. 
when I'm underwriting apartments, I pull comps. ok, so all three surrounding apartment buildings have tiled walls in the shower with LVP flooring? and they're all charging $.50/sf? good to know. 
if my subject property has a plastic tub and carpet. (and if everything else is the same) I know my value can go up to $0.50/sf. then work backwards. example: say you're getting $0.30 currently. so you can see a 0.20 increase/sf for the renovation. 1200 sqft total(guess based on being a 3/2) that's a $240/month rent raise based on the remodel.  $2880/year return.

are you doing the remodel to maintain or to improve income? Cap Ex covers to maintain. if you're looking to improve income, you need to do the above math with actual numbers and figure if dropping $5k is worth an increase of $2880/year.

rents? are you planning to rent this out? how much per month/year? what type of cash flow? that's a key part to the strategy. form there, how much are you putting away for reserves? vacancies, etc.

in Missouri, first we try Goodwill. if they dont take it, we go to Salvation Army. I've yet to have anything declined by them. however, the next step is FB marketplace for $1. then put in on the curb. you can also try giving it to a local yard sale free of charge and tell them to keep the profit.

.... why?

I think you know the answer to this already man. "I've seen crackheads there already the two times I've been there" "in the hood". does your rehab budget account for cleaning up the entire neighborhood too or? I wouldn't purchase a B class house in a D class area. this close to closing and you're just now wondering 'hmm, what happens if they ban STR? then what?'. You should have that answered before even putting in an offer.
all my snide comments aside. what are the driving factors that would attract a potential long term tenant to that property? from your question it sounds like a low class tenant you dont want, living in a luxury house. not my idea of a solid investment.
