My question is does this look like a good deal (Please comment with any information I can provide to better assess that question) , Could I potentially get a HML on this even if I am an 18 years old (Full Time RE Agent also I don't mind having skin in the game cash wise with money down I am aware this will be needed) , Also steps to take NOW if this does seem like a great deal, this would be my first flip and I completely understand what happens in flips coming from "dolphin background"...flippers.

The thing that scares me about these are special assessments and condo fees. 

My question is, when the bank assesses the value of the property, will they use local area comps or base the valuation on the property's income?

At best, I see my opinion as only a springboard to create questions that form a starting point and set of questions from whence to launch a comprehensive course of due diligence.So, I am suffering from “cognitive bias”.... or “the effects of ... legal education at Internet University” ??

The icing on the cake is the ridiculous New Jersey taxes, which are assessed at an ungodly high value for a place like Paterson.My recommendation: stick with the Anchorage plan.

We always separate the utilities, BUT we carefully assess the cost of doing so before we buy the multi.
