But I just moved out to Edmonton Alberta Canada from Ontario, I am now apprenticing Automotive Mechanic, 16$ and hour first year with insane wages for 4th and 5th year 29.50$ an hour...I have just got an apartment 3 months ago and so far its going well , Im 19 , have an apartment, car, all bills paid early, etc..absoulutly no debt and average 2500-3000 in a high interest savings bank account all the time..

I don't have tenant headaches, mechanical failures, occassional break-ins and theft, and I don't have long-standing property tax obligations (Michigan has very high property taxes).

I've not seen one of these "types" of buildings (small commercial-class of this age) yet that has a TRUE expense ratio (vacancy+expense+capital exp) less than 55% or so, if you truly allow an adequate maintenance allowance and age out the roof, mechanicals, and systems.

Also Ive been doing construction & flooring for years plus I can do plumbing electrical and I'm a fairly good mechanic. so I have a good grasp on how much it cost to make repairs.

That said, the mechanics are very similar between the two, just the strategies are a bit different.

If you have a legitimate disagreement, there is likely a mechanism for that, too.

The high ROI is very attractive and with them advertising these properties as turn key homes I assumed no major mechanicals would need to be changed for at least 3 years because I was told everything in the homes I was purchasing would be brand new. 

I went to school to be an auto mechanic.

Even though the owner has passed there may be a mortgage on the property or other liens ie, IRS, Mechanics etc. 

If I put down a deposit, (in earnest), for the vehicle to not be sold, could the sales people (agents), still allow test drives, and mechanics, and friends to look it over as if it were still available?
