Chances are you don't want to buy a building that had PERC spills and EPA just chomping at the bit to hit the new owner with environmental cleanup costs, that might be way more than the building is worth. 

If styles change in a few years, it'll be cheaper to replace than a single refinishing of the wood floors that's typically done every 7-10 years. 

I've seen some posts arguing about design and color scheme choices that are in and out of style in rehabs and flips so I figured I would give my first hand advice.

Our total gut ran about $65k inculding all new drywall as the walls had an adobe style finish, plus we added two additional 1/2 baths.

LTR or MTR so regardless of rent style you can go for the long, mid or short.Dayton, OH and Indianapolis, IN are two great cities that my California customers have found great 2-4 units over the last 2-3 years. 

Starting an LLC after purchasing properties can help understand investing style, asset protection needs, and business growth.

@Mindy JensenI don't know if @Jay Hinrichs has ever been a guest, but I love his style and would love to hear from him.

They are currently almost entirely rented condo or townhouse style units, producing income.

I just don't have the patience to wait four years and spend 6-figures for environmental studies on a 1-MW, four-acre project.

Other than real estate I love dance, especially Latin dance styles, a good bottomless mimosa brunch, travel, and relaxing to a good Netflix/hulu show with some dessert!
