Not only has the appearance of buildings and grounds been declining over the years, I also forecast some serious owner expenses due to the roofs close to the end of their life span and the CPVC piping of the same vintage.

Over time the maintenance will be higher so the net number isn't too far off.What's the vintage age of these building(s)??

There still are small (< 50 units) '60s vintage properties scattered around that have room with value add but it's a hot market.Portland has higher caps in the suburbs but smaller institutions are there too.

Granted now I have a great vintage class A asset in a great location, but the cost was a real killer hahahaYou guys have any experience, thoughts, ideas or insights as to what direction would be the best to move in?

I noticed my vintage unit had a lot of interest at $750 pre-renovation.  

Commute, school district, and you'll get more in Everett in terms of house, yard, and product vintage/rehab for the price.

I'd like to source my own fixtures (vintage/ salvaged/ thrifted) and do some of the work myself/ w friends who are handy.  

I love that you kept the vintage charm, like the detail over the sink, but updated it.

You will evaluate slightly differently buildings of various sizes and vintage builds.

Locally about 10 percent of the 2004-2006 vintage is expected to have itHere is a link from the state of Florida about what to look for http://www.doh.state.fl.us/environment/community/indoor-air/inspections.html
