But if I wanted lights and refrigerator etc, I had no choice but solar, this is why you're correctly alluding to the rural aspect.... 

I’m considering purchasing five units in an eight-unit light industrial property structured as a condominium.

I dont believe there is any kind of HOA or ruling organization for these group of houses but it has me concerned that if one day they all decide they want to repave the driveway or add lighting or something along those lines, they would try and make everyone chip in and pay their fair share. 

I gutted it and added new drywall, new light fixtures, new bathrooms, new paint, new kitchen, new furniture and new flooring and new windows.

this is where the deals are .Ones that can bite you though are higher end homes where the previous owner strips them takes every cabinet every door every light fixture basically deconstructs the inside of the houseAnd this is how rental property will look over time in many C D markets just beat to holly heck.It's really surprising (when you first start out) how people can abuse a house and what they will actually live in....It's usually either substance abuse or just a bit nuts....or the worst is when it's both.....We should get all the veteran investors on here together and write a book. 

Though we haven’t closed our first deal yet, we’re ready to jump and pull the rip cord as soon as our coach gives the green light!

I couldn't find any threads on BP that mention him in a negative light, is he another charlatan?

Grocapitus is great with marketing light on details. 

Also AirBNB stocking fees, maintenance, cap ex.But at the same token know that the principal portion of your mortgage payment is actually not a true expense so there is that benefit to doing all of this even if you are light on the cash flow or break even.  

Even if it isn't a perfect match it will be fine as the light hits walls differently.
