I've put together a (3) Broker panel to discuss the Spring Market at our March 31 meeting to give members "yardsticks" they can use to decide Market direction for themselves.  

Hey everyone, is there a way to take out the "struts" on a paneled window, or is the window made up of smaller windows? 

The only costs not factored into the operating costs are capital expenses (new roof, new HVAC, new electrical panel, new water heater, etc) and debt service.While it is true that in general, 4 unit buildings or less are valuables on the comps approach, those comps are also based on the local cap rates too and knowing how to evaluate what cap rate you will be offering at will help you compare 2 or more like properties.

Make sure with your lofts that your cost estimate for rehab and what the city or county wants for compliance are in the same ballpark.A building that old might have a ton of surprises such as illegal additions, grandfathered permitting but as soon as the use changes you have to bring up to code, knob and tube wiring, asbestos, galvanized pipes, lead based based, out dated electrical panel for today's demands, and on and on.Check what type of leases are in place downstairs NNN,gross,etc. and if the tenant has to disclose monthly sales and how strong the guarantee is on the lease.

We will have a panel discussion on leveraging 203k loans for multi-family investing starting at 7pm.  

Recently seller put in new roof, and a 400amp panel in basement, BUT its not wired for metering and would have to be rewired.

The 3 remaining also got new windows, electrical panels and new piping, just not flooring, paint and kitchen/bath remodels (and they are now within $50 of market rent.)I just refied the property and we've added $300k+ to the value based on improvements and new income. 

We have a court hearing on the 12th of this month, but I really want to trip her breaker and put a lock on the panel. 

The house currently has a fuse panel and outdated wiring.  

If you want security cameras and motion lighting just by a little shed with solar panel on top so you don't have to tap into the utilities.
