This is another tip to others looking to buy a property then when you get it you might have to update things completely and the cash flow model the previous owner has been touting will not matter.If you buy a property in the 70's or older you also have to watch out for the EPA lead based paint rules.

While those are doable, and some people build their entire business model around control w/out ownership, there are drawbacks to that.

Using comps anywhere in this development allows me to compare similar models with each other.

Not much to break on a shopvac and most who own them barely use them, find a decent used one and get a heavy duty for the price of an entry level model you'll burn out fast.
