Lol, but I am anticipating it will be pretty easy to achieve!

I agree with Tom, worst case you anticipate the cost of siding over them.

The tenants ($675/mo/unit, sep utilities except H2O) moved out 6 months into the listing anticipating a new landlord. 

I have found this part to be more difficult than I anticipated because there are many people who are not genuine and who are not truly looking to educate and mentor.

The neighborhood rents will affect the amount you can anticipate, all things being equal.

It may still be worth the money just anticipate some additional repair costs.

The reason I ask is because I see the following upsides: renter income, I'm paying into something I own, and I anticipate that I would pay less monthly than I  would for the apartment.Also, I came across some AZ incentive programs that bundle a down payment into the mortgage so there are no up front costs AND programs that wave down payments: http://www.arizonadownpaymentassistance.com/down-p...So, If the down payment was waved or bundled, I wouldn't have capital tied up in the property in the event we are at peak market and this property does not appreciate and I can't use the BRRR method. 

I’ve been on this path for over 30 years so it has become my pattern to overcome the negative.I’m positively charged most all of the time – but there are days where something will creep up that I didn’t prepare for or didn’t anticipate for properly and gut punch me.So what do you do?

Or is this a flipping method where you anticipate you'll find a better $ from another buyer?

Did it anticipate having to replace ALL the rafters and roof, because of termite damage that was only discovered after purchase?
