I recall when I first dipped my toes into out-of-state properties; it felt like navigating uncharted waters, but it opened up some incredible opportunities.Between BRRRR and turnkey, it really boils down to how hands-on you want to be.

(Making judgements based on family status, number of kids, medical animals, etc etc..)4) When you get that first repair call 10pm Saturday night for a leaking roof or water heater do you have a trusted/dependable guy to call and get it fixed that night?

We figure 15k yearly in holding costs, HO insurance, flood insurance, taxes, utilities. 

Muddy up the waters more than that and it can become impossible to leverage.  

Your worry is if the pipes are in tact and if the water and sewage flows out.

Here are the numbers I know so far:Rents4 units all currently occupied on one year leases- #1: 1/1 $995 monthly- #2: 1/1 $995 monthly- #3: 1/1 $995 monthly- #4: 2/1 $1,100 monthly- Gross rents: $4,085 monthlyExpenses- $12,070 taxes annually- $350 monthly insurance (my estimate, they have liability only right now)- $175 monthly landscaping- $120 water (electrical on separate meters, tenant pays)- Total expenses: $1,651 monthlyNOI around $2,434 before vacancy, maintenance, and management (although i would likely self-manage these)Property needs about $50K in other repairs and udpates from what I can see.

Thermostat was off the wall, laundry room filled up to 3ft with dirty clothes trash everywhere, bed frames dissasembled and no water.

I know the 20yr city development plans, I know of the waste water treatment facilities that are wrapping up approvals and have not even broke ground yet and exactly how many w/s laterals will be approved with such. 

Hi William, we're right across the water in Brooklyn! 

Even a typical water heat replacement would set you back signficantly.There's plenty to the puzzle that i am unaware of but with what you've outlined here i would consider passing on the property.you know you need managementyou know you need to remove at least one tenantyou know cashflow is meager after considering management.i personally wouldn't recommend a client take on the risk for such a paltry pay out out of state.Even when considering long term appreciation the average amount of headache one assumes with a property will bog you down before the long term play pays off.
