So things that are red flag for me may be fine for someone more aggressive.1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where you think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then only then pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

Our business is now 100% virtual, which we're thrilled about, but to stay incorporated in our state of Oregon, we must have a physical presence.

This property caught my eye for several reasonsmostly because I drive by it frequentlyit offers a commercial space, apartments, and mobile home lotsit's close to my other investments and where I liveI feel like this is an area ready to grow (it's the non-interstate link from big town to small town)it's not so expensive I can't find a way to do the dealI've been investigating mobile home investing lately, and this is one way to learn thatI don't have a physical office space for my business, and this would lend credibility to my business (and allow me to have high-speed internet, which I can't get currently)I can use an apartment and rent my SFR for morethe mixed use feels like diversificationI wouldn't be surprised to see an investor try to buy this and several other spaces up for a large developmentI see potential in possibly converting the mobiles to tiny houses and increase rents accordinglyI'm not in love with the deal, but a couple of those reasons would sway me to consider a less-than-great deal, for non-financial reasons.The numbers really look not very good, and it looks like a bad deal as it sits, considering I'm adding 1000 in rent increase and no rehab in this scenario. 

Sellers often don't physically attend the closing, but they will have to sign transfer documents with the title company or attorney to effectuate the transfer of title.

You see properties all the time that are lapsing on the market because of physical issues... ugly, bad layout, etc.

I feel like I need to make the leap now and purchase, but something keeps holding me back.A little about me:  My fiancee and I are both traveling Physical Therapists. 

Is it not correct to think that you buy a house lil later in life but buy a decent size one and then hopefully stay there till end (obviously unless you are physically unable to live alone)

I completely agree with @Phil Anderson about needing to physically look at a property and see what the value is.

The value add will be mostly in increasing the projects occupancy from low 70s% to market occupancy (about 94% physical, 91-92% economic).

Justin, I looked into this and it seems in NJ I do not think the state allows us to do our RE license online we physically have to attend a class.
