You need headroom above the stair case to at the top landing, not a doorway and space next to the stairs to lift things straight up.Those that sell spiral steps can best advise on clearances needed, size with rise at each step, they have software for instant calculations.

FYI- Apple iPhone auto correct is horrible!!!!

The broker ends up doing the heavy lifting to get these things closed and the new agents are looking for a 100% brokerage........ : )The agent mills want every agent that fogs a mirror.

In my experience, they care they most about:1) Door condition and door hardware2) Smoke Detectors3) That all 3 pronged electrical outlets me grounded4) That the electrical panels are up to date5) That no common area utility is paid for by a tenant (no hall lights on tenant electrical bills, etc.)6) That all windows be able to be opened, and stay open (lift open 3-5 inches, and when you let go, it will stay in that position)Hopefully this helps.

You don't want to do the former owner's heavy lifting to get it fixed up but then give it back to him in a foreclosure before the income stabilizes.

If it's not very deep, maybe 2' or so then I would say it is most likely a lift station for the old septic system.

Now is all Apple...

Make sure you know how to run comps for yourself, apples to apples and oranges to oranges.

It would need a face lift on the outside with nice pavers for stairs and the front landing.

I do not have time for flakes that jump all over creation and do not know what they are doing or even know if they qualify to purchase.The other brokers know my clients will close the deal because I heavily qualify them and get the heavy lifting out of the way upfront.
