With the newly implemented congestion pricing in Manhattan easy access to NYC public transport is golden.

Fire hydrants, sewer, water, road access, electric, flood way or plain, storm pond, storm sewer, setbacks, fencing, soil compaction, lot sizes, etc.3.  

The way I'm looking at it, if my spouse and I only do employer matching for the 10 years we would have more than enough in there and still 10 years out from being able to access it.I do plan on doing 401k loans for deals if the numbers check out, and I've considered rolling over some of our 401ks into roth IRAs to access our contributions but we'd have to pay taxes out of pocket (a big hit to cash flow) and we couldn't touch it for 5 years.  

Why not, we already had everything in place, we loved the area, 3 blocks from the beach, good price etc.

Than AFTER that base-line cleanup action is done which part of it is to establish access for all others, than things get into the next lower level of details. 

@Robert Quiroz I think all of the factors you have listed might contribute.So I’m not going to comment on that but I am going to comment on an assumption you made.If 85% of rents are below market on deals you underwrite then those contract rents are probably THE market rent.You can’t just go based upon area median income to rent ratio.First off urban areas are oftentimes street by street, block by block.

And in part, it depends on the investors and capital that you have access to (this tends to play a factor in many decisions when raising outside capital).If you do want to go the fund route, you might want to consider using Avestor.

I don't know why you would think a tenant requesting notice before you accessed the property would be an "unreasonable demand".
