Very well maintained and in really great shape.The other two units is owned by a resident whom lives there, and takes care of all the maintenance.All of the maintenance (snow, lawn, common elec, water sewer) is covered by an HOA fee of about $250 per unit.I've discovered that this is an unwarrented property, and there for I wouldn't be able to get typical funding, and would have to look to a private bank or credit union at a higher rate.Basically, If I do move forward with this property.

I am now in the process of the cash out refi process and ready to go after the next one.Unfortunately, I used up a lot of my funds on the first and don't have enough to cover another cash purchase in the area I buy.I market like a wholesaler but I intend to keep the properties I am aiming for myself due to the knowledge I am gaining in this particular area I focus on.So to keep my itchy finger at bay, I have started to study other areas surrounding me to start some true wholesale marketing to sell to other investors.I read and study all I can but it is no where close to adventure of dealing with a physical property.
