BEFORE the first wire is pulled so loads cam be balanced and pathways identified. 

Walk every unit with an ipad, make written notes and pics of what each unit needs re upgrades--match that to remaining rental contract length.Have a professional inspection done, with a sewer cam, also be aware if anti backflow devices have been installed, and where they are at (exactly where they are at).Pay attention to the electrical system in the inspectors report.Walk the entire lot with the ipad and make written and pic notes of things you must improve, want to improve.You will need to have fixup dollars estimated for the needed repairs and upgrades.You may have to pay a General Contractor to walk with you to give you estimates.That's just a few things off the top of my head--there are many more.Good Luck!

The solar could also absorb the power bill for all CAM power use like the laundry facilities, CAM lights, CAM day/night lights, and other CAM electrical use.

Quote from @Cam Smith: Fellow Rochester investor here!

If there are more than one name on the deed, or any of the owners are deceased then other heir may lay claim to the property.There are some out of state companies, one is very well known in CA that claim that they cam issue clear title without a Quiet title Action. 

I kind of in different cam on the 401 k saving. read the book really great contents but it can not be apply to everyone. if you live in high tax rate like California maxing out 401k might not be worst idea . if you are here than you are earning more anyway just to survive.again everyone and there life circumstances are different.coming back to your question.

I almost missed it - glad I cam back to check this thread!

Reason I'm thinking of a condo is because I cam attack the principal aggressively and finish paying it off in 3 to 5 years.

In your example number 1 it would be  "the price is 222 time rent" This is also a horrible ratiosIdeal valuation measure for investment property is 0.7% or more while 0.5% is acceptableI am curious where you cam up with that idea?
