Back in "the day" we would get the same info and a weekend long event for $497 (Wow, now i starting to sound like my grandfather)Today, because of technology being so widely available and inexpensive, you can get the vast majority of the core information that you need to be successful as a real estate investor,  for free!

If all is right, being ultra conservative, including a 13% vacancy discount  consistent with the office submarket into the mix (gross rents are reportedly 324k/yr - 13% vacancy for submarket = 282k rents - 104k in expenses), w/ 30% down at about 5% it'll cash flow about 80k/yr. at 2.35m - again being ultra conservative given its 100% rented.

We sold them both, seller financed, in the 1995-2000 time frame for $77,000 and $83,000. 

I have used most of my cash to get it up for remodel and carried some on cc, and refinanced an inexpensive paid off vehicle to complete the job.

We were amazed that we could buy properties so inexpensively.

It looks like this will amount to about an $85/month increase in expenses, meaning my monthly cash flow will go from almost $200/month to about $110/month. 

Can you really count on nothing happening over that timeframe?  

That is your start point and you have a two year time frame to do just that.Start by possibly moving closer to where you work.

I schedule showing appointments in 15- or 20-minute intervals during a 2-hour time frame and will overbook as some just won't show even after scheduling. 

It ended up costing me a total of $2600 (which is still inexpensive) between labor and materials to have a pro do it.
