Recent price reduction of $120K and we got it under contract almost immediately after it was listed at the new lower price.We have done local rent surveys and we think we are competitive.We're still in the Due Diligence phase right now, and are getting: Appraisal, environmental study, HUD statement, utility details, insurance, financing.Anything that you think we should be considering here, either about this deal or about getting into an office building in general?

I am looking to learn how I can utilize this community of like minded people to begin developing a network of connections. 

Please correct me if I am missing some line items here, but here are the working numbers for the property:+ Gross Rental Income: $150,000- Cleaning Fees: ($21,600)- Management Fees:  ($19,260)- Property Taxes: ($3,700)- Insurance: ($2,400)- Trash & Local Tax: ($650)- Utilities: ($7,200)- Pest Control ($560)- Supplies/Maintenance: ($1200)- Acct/Legal: ($1500)TOTAL EXPENSES = ($58,070)Net Operating Income = $91,930---Based on my limited understanding of the local CAP rates for similar properties in Philadelphia, PA 19106 it looks like 5-6% is a realistic number. 

Mine consists of Carry costs (utilities), Insurance, Permit/Fees, School Tax, County Tax (those that may not have been due at closing), Contingency and of course… misc.

How much value is added to vacant land by just doing the basics of getting it professionally surveyed and getting utilities to the lot? 

I love being a private lender but the fact that it simply increases my taxable income makes me consider shifting some of my note portfolio to multi-family perhaps...You might find this discussion beneficial where similar question is raised: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/604...Owning notes in your retirement account (especially self-directed Roth IRA or Roth Solo 401k) is ideal since you can have tax-free income for the rest of your life if you utilize one of these vehicles. 

They do check occupancy cross reference with utility records, drivers license info, insurance to name a few.

once those utilities go bad, your not going to be able to sustain the capital expenditure to replace each of the well's or the waste Water treatment system. 

Since as disqualified person you are not allowed to provide a personal guarantee for a loan to your IRA you may not use conventional loan, you must utilize non-recourse loan (meaning the lender has no recourse against you personally, property is the only security for the loan).

So, after a little more digging, I found out that all utilities except electric are included in the income apartments.
