Energy Compliance and Electrical drawings are routinely done by an architect.

@Amul, I and my cousins have done this routinely.  

It is also because I maintain quality communication with my tenants and routinely do drive-bys of my properties, especially after snowstorms.

Being built in 1900 isn't itself concerning because properties are routinely maintained through the years and through the owners.

Ovens and multiple burners running together eat up a lot of power, You don't want that power running through a cord with insulation flaking off and a couple of nicks in it from routinely moving the range out of place to clean behind it.I realize that appliances costs money to replace.

The one thing I see routinely across "young" investors is they don't have a concrete plan founded on fundamental concepts...there are 1,000 ways to make money in this industry...and a variation of each of those.One piece of advice would be to learn OKR's...build this into the framework of your business...there is a learning curve, but you guys will pick up fast.Best of luck! 

I routinly see 2 to 4 on huds..  

Seller gets to enjoy their retirement.We get to continue our daily routine as usual, no moving, no nothing.Next is to utilize the equity as a down payment for the next MFH property, hopefully merge another equity partner together to expand the opportunity for my next deal.

@Julian Pilate-Hutcherson We work almost exclusively with OOS investors and it's a mixed bag...I sold 3 MF properties this month to folks that have never been to the state...and I have another set of clients that have been in the market for months and make routine visits to the city...I think it has a lot to do with comfort-level...truth told, we can leverage technology and get every possible detail on the table for review to make a pretty informed buy/pass decision...combined with an inspection and appraisal, there is really no need to be here in person looking at deals....
