You are in the right place.It's great you are also willing to offer value in exchange for exposure and experience.As a Chemical Engineer from prairie View A&M University, we like to balance all the materials and equations but bring that mindset into Real Estate did not help me much because materials don't balance 100% in Real Estate Investing.Networking, Continuous Education, Ready To Take Action are what I will also advise.As @Sandy Sawyer and @Mack Benson mentioned, you have to take action and don't get caught up in ANALYSIS PARALYSIS.Remember nobody can read or educate themself to Financial Freedom or Generational Wealth.

Forgive me if this sounds harsh, but you don't know what you are doing.

Most can’t pick their own nose much less a good investment which is why I don’t waste time with them  Even though you chose pretty harsh words, I can't totally disagree when you describe "most", maybe I would say "many".

When you use the chemical cleaner it re-activates the grout causing it to smear again.

Long term, consistent action with a proven strategy produces results.As for myself I have a Bachelors in Chemical Engineering and I stand behind that decision.

@Frank Nouma it’s a harsh area but still sound great being that all Philadelphia property are being tip .

I have seen a pretty harsh stop on rentals and most real estate except lower priced entry level.

However there are many factors that make it a tough business....weather, rising fixed costs, fertilizer, chemicals, fuel, labor, insurance, and the threat of a recession.

Have a logbook near top of steps with list of chemicals in cabinet and you should be good.

Also, I neglected to ask you how many units are in the apartment complex, but let's work with what we have.So, if you wanted to maintain your existing CoCR, you'd have to increase total rents so that the new CoCR ((NOI + Rent_Increase)/(Investment + Cap_Ex)) equals the old CoCR (NOI/Investment).I'm assuming there's no debt service payment and I'm also ignoring the fact than increasing rent would also increase management expense if your fee is a percentage of rent.When I solve this, I calculate that you've got to increase total rents by $1,250, so for a 10-plex that would mean raising rents $125/mo per unit.If your current rents are under $1K, this seems harsh to do in a single year, but a very reasonable raise over a 2-year period.
