So you don't have to worry about budgeting for a roof or tuck pointing or things like that.

Old plumbing leaks, boilers need repair, that's not even taking into consideration the cost of bigger jobs, such as a roof, tuck pointing, water heater or boiler replacement, and tenant flips (paint, carpet, etc).

Any salvageable ones tucked away there?

There are some duplexes and quads tucked away behind "Pinkies" in Rancho (from the movie). 

Here in Los Angeles many apartment buildings require a soft story retrofit at the tuck-under open face parking side of the building.

One of my clients used this loan last year to pick up a distressed three unit in Berwyn, and he rolled in a substantial tuck pointing job as well as a boiler replacement into the loan. 

You could use funds that you have tucked away in retirement accounts or other styles of "silo'd money", or you could raise fund by bringing in partners. 

Perhaps long socks and pants tucked into them will help.

Tuck that $10k away and focus on making it bigger while you grow your knowledge. 

Razor knife the excess , tuck it under the trim and just tack it down .no padding needed !
