As I was priced out of the area, I decided to look at other towns in Pennsylvania.I bought a home in late October in Luzerne County for $83,500 and decided to manage on my own for the first time. 

The building value of the rental is written off across 27.5 years.

The seller showed a letter from the previous Building inspector stating that there are no coding violations and that all the 6 units have certificates of occupancy.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

Main goal is to start building a port folio, understanding the ins and outs and hopefully start lookin into property deals where the roi is high. 

We also have some buildings that are single family conversions not built with seperate utilities. 

Heck, even within offices, the small 1-tenant office buildings suitable for a dental practice or law practice, those are in a very different world. 

I like OC, my office is in North Orange County.

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

Based on that number of units I would expect much higher figures - did you buy these buildings all/mostly cash?
