For me personally it is 3 minutes to Red Rocks Open Space, 5 minutes to Garden of the Gods, walking distance to Bear Creek Park, and 15 minutes to all the other major trails.

Needless to say, I chose to walk away after several negotiations to which he did not budge.  

Or just owner finance it (with a nice down payment) and you have your first stream of income.I don't let good deals walk away from me.  

I really don't want to walk on the deal but without it being my house I can't even get behind the walls to know the extent of the pipe damage. 

We had seen something suspicious on our initial walk-around.In-ground septic failed a hydro/pressure test.

You can phone and email contacts to get things done, but its obviously much harder to hop a domestic flight to pay a visit and shake hands, walk a property, sign closing documents, etc. 

If the owner does not let you see all the units during the inspection period, I would walk...fast.I also use and recommend a home inspection.

Seems like it's just outside downtown but probably no one would walk in.  

The building is walking distance from a college campus and less than a 5 minute drive to downtown area and 10 minutes from a community college, 5 minutes from a hospital and in the near future there will be a casino about 5 miles from it.I have a good relationship with the landlord so hopefully he is open to a creative deal.

Or, call a real estate agent and have them bring you a few possible options that fit your criteria and walk those properties.
