@Timothy Burnes Don't do it. 10-20k in equity is not worth all those issues.Bed bugs are a significant defect that can take either $5000 and tenting the whole building for heat treatment, which requires vacating the tenants or getting them hotel rooms for a few nights, or a sustained program of prevention with bed risers, leg traps, sealed mattress bags, and the tenants need to keep it up for.. get ready for it.. 6 months, which is how long they can live without a meal.Sewage in the basement could be a big issue if you have a sewer backup problem.The sinking toilet sounds like it needs immediate attention, but at least that's a straightforward repair.The other issues are what I would consider "normal" as in, you could fix them but don't need to in order to make the place liveable.Based on the bed bugs alone I would avoid... if you are comfortable with this level of rehab you should be getting a way better deal.

We don't go to every routine plumbing call or no heat call at this point, but we keep detailed notes of how the mechanicals work at each building so that we can trouble shoot virtually.

What about heat and AC, are they all separate units or a central system?

We normally don’t buy investment condos since the cash on cash return is normally low due to the HOA fees but there is something to be said about not needing to worry about the exterior, heat, hot water, snow removal, or landscaping.
