My only worry is will they all be worth the amount of rehab that will be needed and will they even increase in value enough to make this deal even be worth the time is could take and money. 

Borrowing other people's money sounds great but the market prices are high and hard to make profit if you borrow the down payment and borrow for the remainder of the mortgage loan. 

It may be a good idea to have some face to face conversations if possible before you spend any money on deals. 

Arizona State University has been putting a lot of money into their downtown area.

Is there money in building and selling individual properties as GC if you factor in holding cost, etc?

No doubt there is money to be made, but the state has overstepped any sense of ownership from the landlord.

Prospective Oregon Coast STR investors are encouraged to be fully prepared for rapid execution and to expand their search to areas that might not be of initial consideration as licensable inventory is increasingly limited. 

But don’t worry I’ll get my money.

That lawsuit would cost more than the building, if you lose, and if you win you will still be out a lot of money; and way more stress than the batteries.

I will negotiate the lowest MAO I can and earn the most money I can from the deal.
