I am a contractor overseas (Germany) and as a network engineer for the DOD i will be working at Military bases. 

I have over 40 years of land development experience as an engineer so I can assess property pretty quickly.Anyway, someone came to me with a couple of off-market properties.

Plumbing, Electric, HVAC, Drywall, Gas etc.

I’m defining general light work as plank flooring, painting, minor electrical, etc..For example - is it fair to estimate flooring labor as $3/square foot?

Owner is motivated to sell and says expenses are $2300/month (includes lease rent 1700+600 in electricity/gas water included in rent).

Tenant shall properly use, operate and safeguard Premises, including if applicable, and landscaping, furniture, furnishings and appliances, and all mechanical, electrical, gas and plumbing fixtures, and smoke alarms, and keep them and the Premises clean, sanitary and well ventilated.F.

We also had some exposed wires under the house that required some minor electric upgrades to bring to code.

Still you’ll need to fix any plumbing, electrical, door etc type issues which likely are in bad shape.

I would imagine it would involve architects, attorneys, civil engineers and surveyors to get you a plat drawn.

That's the beautiful thing about tech and automation.It can take some time to set up and integrate and implement processes.But once done properly, you can scale quicker and easier and not be worried to take on a book of 189 units per se when the opportunity presents itself.I reverse engineered "scale" within our company and focused on systems and optimizing.Now it's time to monetize 🙏Getting very close to being able to throw gasoline on the fire for scale.We could scale easier in another market but to be honest, not in the mood of being like some of the other nation wide PM's where they do M&A nationwide.Plus, I'm "semi-retired" and prefer to keep it that way hahaThere are limits to growth in our local market but it's not necessary a bad thing.Cheers mate
