My properties are well maintained but they are 150 years old.

It also depends on your position financially and how much you want to leverage.

This may be to general, but I have inherited a position in a commercial property and I am looking to buy out a family partner.

Hi there I am seeking a referral to a large contracting group or contractor that has done apartment re-positioning work.Please PM me with a referral only if you've had personal experience with them.

I want to start my financial freedom as soon as I get back by obtaining a positive cash flowing property and a full time electrical job, then after a few years go get my degree once I’m financially stable.

Keep getting educated so you can position yourself to take action. 

Just dealing in multi family properties does not in and of itself mean you will always be more profitable, or that those properties are the easiest to manage and maintain etc. etc.

I was willing to do all those things that petrified me, and because ive done it, ive produced positive results.

We bought at a great time (2011-2013) and at prices that equated to a "2% to 3% rule." 10% was way too high and a couple of years later he brought it down to 7%. 10% was unsustainable and 7% made it more break even.I am sitting on a substantial equity position but I would not do this again.

I assume that I can take possession (change locks etc) and perform structural repairs sufficient to bring it back to habitable standards but my question is does that include sprucing up the property itself ie tree trimming grass cutting and the like to maintain neighborhood norms?
