From all the pod casts I've listened to, it's always recommended to work with the non main stream banks for your REI loans.

I started by listen to the pod casts as well. 

(cast Iron Pipes are in sad shape)I offer to buy the property 3 years ago but he didn't want me to have it because of the problems.  

If you do not then the plumber has to take the toilets off and snake the line that way and can use a camera to check for obstructions and issues going out all the way to the street.Some old cast iron lines might need replacing and the expenses Is based on how much they have to dig up and where.

I wanted to get some people to cast there eyes over my numbers and possibly provide some advice on some metrics they look at when determining an area to invest.So the asking price for the 4plex is $650k and current rents are 3x$260 and 1x$290 (market rent would be around $260-$280 currently).

One major plumbing issue due to old cast iron pipes and there goes 3 years of income (ask me how I know).

Treat this as part of your business and you and your business will grow tremendously.The forum posts,blogs and pod casts are amazing.
