You know you gotta pay rents.......LOLA larger office complex will be much different than a single building.Common areas can be an issue as to maintenance, who controls the HVAC?

When I got out I took some vocational schooling in Industrial Maintenance and Computers.

Financials need to show sufficient cash flow, paying obligations in priority, financing, taxes, insurance, investor's principal contribution, operational expenses then allowances for maintenance and vacancy.  

I have it in my primary and it is not maintenance free!

The buyer would also be responsible for maintenance, taxes, insurance, etc.

As I said above, the seller has managed this property for many years and has apparently not treated it like a business, i.e. having long stretches of vacant units while he took his time in making any needed repairs or maintenance.

If you are on the edge of a desert, it makes little sense to sod with {non native} grass species which require moisture levels above and beyond what Mother Nature supplies.Even way up here in the north east, we do not landscape our properties with non-native species - particularly non-native grass species and ornamental shrubs - many of which come from warmer climates further south and can be high maintenance given our winters and their lower resistance to {native} weeds and insects.

Airy as well, and recently have been doing some normal maintenance/replaces on my home such as brick pointing, new wrought iron railings, new steps and patio. 

I would want to be my own property manager which doesn't scare me much as I have good people skills and good maintenance skills.I'm concerned about getting financing at my age and at my income level.

Insurance, taxes, lawn maintenance/appliance repair.
