I want to negotiate the 1st month rent component.

Any deal has a price component and a terms component.

I think extended is defined as anything more than 3 consecutive days.

Good point on the temp Bryan, glad to have a contractor in on the discussion.As far as the boiler condition, it's in the basement which gets fairly humid, inspector just made mention that some of the control panel, circuitry, components, etc look rusted and should be serviced as a precaution.

Courtnay, I agree with Mitch that it is easier to approach investing and all of its components by essentially outsourcing the needed activities until you can do them as well or less expensively. 

In case you don't know what these are and just want to read along to the responses, I will define each term.Demographics: This information gives you age, gender, and income level of a group of people.

Any advice on whether or not it is good to have a focused strategy/target or more of a broad less defined strategy. 

What will define the success of the group?

Your original question was "What am I missing to make this a good deal" - what defines a good deal to you and your investing strategy? 

I have a few properties pre selected, will define within days.I would like if experienced investors in that area could point me to proven Property Managers, good, honest and inexpensive.
