I plan to attend March 3 just to observe. 

I agree it makes much more sense to invest in Midwest than in the Bay Area.However, just an observation.

I'm here to observe and absorb knowledge from you all

I've had the same observation in terms of multifamily I've looked at in the Montrose area.

Just trying to look, listen, and observe right now. 

My cash flow will be in the negatives but from my observations on the market I estimate I will be able to break even on mortgage in 1-2 years.

One was located in the right rear section while the other was in the left rear section.PlumbingSome of the hose spigots were inoperable and this should be corrected.The hall bathroom tub was slow to drain and should be cleared by a plumber.ElectricThere was a double tap observed inside each main electrical panel that should be further evaluated and separated by an electrician.The kitchen outlet(s) were not GFCI protected and should be updated.

Just an observation, but you need to be more firm with your tyour neighbor.

Walked away without buying but observed and listened to learn more about what to expect at those. 

Great observation.
