I am very excited to start making progress

That definitely helped my quick progress and retirement.Dan – I agree with everything you posted.

Is the MHC in the PATH of PROGRESS?

I've never dealt with commerical before so i don't even know how to begin assessing the property to come up with an offer and what questions to ask the seller. any help is appreciated. i'm not sure what other info you guys may need so feel free to ask. 

But if your just assessing deals then it's quite difficult to get the true numbers from any online source, database, or even county records... 

Townhomes or condos - you are paying HOA fees each month which eats into your return and subjects you to special assessments.  

This assessment includes all the HOA, P&I, Insurance, Property Management, etc. 

Some will probably require work, so I am looking for someone to visit the properties and assess condition, take pictures, etc. 

Lots of factors that add up real quick Keep us posted on your progress 

While you are scouting deals with brokers/realtors, you would be wise to associate with and work closely with an experienced rehab contractor to give you an honest assessment of what it would take/cost to make the repairs and an estimate of what you could expect to see, in terms of financial returns, for your efforts.
