So, I didn't even know what a dscr loan was until you brought it up, so thank you for that!

It was really hard to schedule cleaners and contractors for repairs on such short notice, and, though we were able to get some of them, my husband ended up doing a great deal of work on the unit (and had to cancel a number of his plans in order to do so).

As the new buyer, I would assume you walked the property and are familiar with how the "long term" tenant keeps things up. 

These properties are built with cash flow in mind and are located in areas that are both up-and-coming and stable.

One or two days is reasonable time to get it fixed.

I’m less concerned about the small items, and I focus on where big costs surprises can come up (new sewer lines, breaker upgrades, galvanized piping, etc) so I can re-trade my offer appropriately.

I know condo prices here don't usually go up a lot, but I'm hoping to find a good spot.

My buddy has a 15+ year track record, and we'll be partnering up on this, so I'm looking to leverage my sales skills to bring in new partners.

I made a list of a dozen of the commercial agents who showed up most often on LoopNet listings.  

That's the one that you need to live in and slowly fix up.
