The colors you choose and the flooring style is exactly what you would find in "the parade of homes" I love it!

Our life style is modest, but we make decent livings (well north of 125k a year before any overtime or bonuses) and our kids college is already paid for.

Getting an environmental study completed and obtaining all of the approvals needed from the local municipality before actually purchasing the property is also a way to reduce a potential disaster.

@Laura Renner  I am not a commercial expert having only sold a few 5 to 6 million dollar buildings as a broker.. and I have personally never seen it.what I have seen is1. not a lot of help from listing agent as they want to double end it .. if they can2. proof up both cash and financing before they will even entertain a offer.3. you can walk around the property but until you have lifted your contingencies and the only one left is inspections.. you can have a quick run through which is generally outside inspections and basic plumbing in select units.. this is not full blown home style inspections.. can't bother the tenants that much.sounds like your buyer is experienced in C and D... if they are not they are going to lose there butts  LOL.. those are the toughest properties to make work in the US.

My new niche is 2B/2B garden style condo within a good school district, low crime, great community amenities and finally, cash flowing properties.

It seems the code enforcement folks drive around looking for contractor style trucks or vans and then start questioning.

Call the local state entity that handles environmental issues for the EPA.

The predilection for greater amenities and community style living has made apartments more attractive than they have been to previous generations, so Millennials are increasingly swapping mortgages for leases.

I just relay what my experiences have been for my investing style and criteria.
