Were there any unexpected hurdles during the rehab or resale process?

A "neutral" cash flow property will likely wind up negative many months/years because there's always something unexpected! 

Another issue is there isn't an outlet under the sink to plug the disposal into.

Personally, I’ve decided to sell two properties out of my portfolio of 26 to address some unexpected expenses and other debts.I was hesitant at first because I didn’t want to let go of any properties.

Make sure you have smoke and CO detectors in appropriate places, GFCI outlets near water, functioning mechanicals, make sure everything is in good condition and you shouldn't have a problem.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: The Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) recently acquired a 360 unit 12 story multi-family building for $24M and  a local news outlet  reported on the building.  

Where do I start;  how do I find the right properties; what to look out for; what outlets do you use to ensure you don't pay too much for a property; what strategies should people in their mid-40's use to maximize the probability of success and profitability; etc., etc., etc...

Not only will this help reduce unexpected costs but tenants often take care of their property better when they are responsible for the repair costs. 

I feel like every project has its curveballs, and sometimes it’s the unexpected stuff that teaches us the most.
