However, as I gain more experience, I've transitioned more to care about quality of cash flow over quantity (which seems like we are on the same page), more about long term growth in rents and prices (but who knows what happens short term) having seen the power in them absolutely dominating my returns over day one cash flow in the long haul, having sold some stuff as well as cash out refinance I care about equity position as it gives you more options in terms of exit strategies, and having sat out a large part of the recovery (after 2012) on new buy and hold acquisitions while some smart flipper friends made lots more money I have learned to become more strategy agnostic to adapt to the strategy that the local market is telling me is the best rather than sit on the sidelines or worse yet force thin profit deals with just one strategy.

If she isn't out Sunday at 5 go to court house and file.Get the power company to revert the power back to owner as soon as you can.. the few bucks to do this will protect your unit in the interim.

How old is the infrastructure (power and plumbing) and is it Municipal or private (big difference, but its good, because you have already said city utilities).

Wind speeds were 50-70mph and I believe that...thought it was a hurricane...No damage, power stayed on fine... but now I am back to thinking about selling or putting in some safety measures.  

Set up a landlord agreement with your power company so that when the tenants move out, the power transfers into your name.

The other posters advising you to go with conventional loans do not understand the power of seller financing.

I've used the power of the internet to connect directly will sellers before, but its not always that easy.

The sanders are very powerful and you can easily make grooves or make depressions if you stay in one spot too long. 

You need staying power.
