A payment of 1k (with interest and taxes and insurance) is probably on a 150k loan.Good luck finding a parking space to buy for that price in boston.

I have one house where it's actually more practical to do the laundry on-site (no good local access to send out the laundry) but even then multiple sets of linens mean the house can be done with everything while waiting for the last load to dry.  

I have a potential property in the south philly that is a duplex with a commercial space but all three are being rented out as apartments.

Though it may not be the way things work, I have some skills, in the multimedia space that could be leveraged to provide some value, for those interested in helping.

As we are fixing up the parks and selling manufactured homes in spaces, we have been using seller financing since traditional financing is very difficult and expensive for the buyers.

Access is always an important factor too. 

How do you handle shared spaces such as kitchen and bath, will the tenants figure it out or will it be a micromanagement headache?

They aren't going to say, "well, the neighborhood is going to crap and I'm tired of the vacancies"...instead, "long time owner wants to retire", "need more space", "job transfer", etc.Get a conversation going first on price (via an offer), then work in these inquiries.

They also might get nervous about the access to all that open credit (if you keep it open)....

We typically operate in the B asset space (A and B Locations).
