Hello everyone, I'm still in my 20's, I'm an experienced HVAC/R contractor whose been in the real estate game for a quite some time, however primarily aa a spectator.

Get a hold of the HOA's CC&R's and talk to neighbors and possibly the board before you buy to get a feel for the property.  

Go and meet the wholesaler or R/E pro in person and see if they pass your smell test.

I've done multiple tear offs and you're budget (assuming a standard building on a standard 25x125) is in the $8000 to $12000 range depending upon the extent of plywood replacement and R value on the insulation you put in.

Hi RyanCongratulations on passing the r/e exam.  

Folks sold these same assets to subprime buyers (lower end) or retail to home buyers (A-B) asset (  Now look up B2 R ( branch of blackstone)they are now coming out with lending  for their renters and doing loans under 40k ) Which should tell you the mess wont be the same but there will always be product coming out.
