(Units rehabbed) Be more specific as to how much work each unit would need.100k into 16 units is 6,250 a unit.This is a very light estimate depending on what work is needed and level of finish to rent the expected units.I would assume by them being mansions as stated renters would expect nicer finishes and amenities which would increase rehab cost.Are the windows for this building a standard size??

Being newer at both ends (realtor and investor), I'm not expecting things to happen an light-speed for me, so I don't expect much in return - as long as I'm not getting swamped.

Its sad its themed in such a profitable light.

Lighting design and interfacing is one of my specialties, and I have a licensed electrician colleague who gives me a great price on certified installation (required by code).

If you haven't gotten that first deal, I promise there's a light at the end of the tunnel...just figure out the issues within that are stopping it from happening.

If it were me, I'd try splitting the duplex into 2 units (if thats possible) and do a light rehab and sell it for a small profit.

It must be the light at the end of the tunnel!

Everything looks good and the green light is on.

Personally, I don't think it will involve planes.Van of explosives at a Portland Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

Check out this wireless lighting control called Hue, by Phillips.You can basically create a lighting system just by installing new bulbs and setting up scenes on a free app.They sell them at the apple store. $200 for the starter kit which includes 3 bulbs and the wireless bridge, and $60 each additional bulb. 50 bulbs per wireless bridge.You can do some cool stuff relatively inexpensive.Not trying to spam you, I have no affiliation I just think there cool.
