Though the whole grading system is a flawed personal opinion, I just don't see it. 

I came across a local developer who seemed to have a good reputation and a track record buying small to medium multi-families, doing some work refurbishing and repositioning the properties and flipping them in a couple of years.  

I was either leaning towards a single family at first or multi-family

Have you considered multi-family instead?

I kept reading through the book saying to myself, "guilty....guilty," as I saw the flaws in the current systems or lack thereof, we had in  place.  

I believe that you best bet would be to invest in multi-family.  

Thank you for your response.Hmmm, I feel like I'd just throw the main circuit breaker if I wasn't there showing it or rehabbing.I don't see a reason to keep the power on otherwise, except I suppose for lights on timers or an alarm system.Now I want to know if landlords typically have alarm systems on their properties...I have so many questions.

One idea is you can look into buying a multi unit and live in one unit, if that works for you. 

I want to learn more about flipping and buy and hold w/multi-family units.  

@Brandon FosterI'm looking at commercial property, are you working with multi units and how large?
