I have been comparing expenses between my apartments in Berwyn and my apartments in South Bend, Indiana, and I am finding that the lower end units in South Bend are using up a much, much larger percentage of rents collected than my Berwyn properties.

@Joseph Blanchett, as military, traditional lenders will be tripping over themselves to lend you money assuming you have any type of credit history at all.

Also, I would look at your original scope and compare with his change order invoice to see if any of the them items are the same or billed twice.

Then when looking at potential deals, you can compare them to your criteria and see how well they meet your goals.

I own a couple of fourplexes in Texas, and the appraiser used comparables from other fourplexes in the neighborhood to give me the values.

They also have more of an investor mindset compared to residential Realtors.

Hi Ricardo Welcome to  Connecticut MarketBidgeport is a good market depending the area like any market you can be in a nice are and 2 more  blocks down you'll be in a war zone but the best part is that bridgeport has the most affordable market compare with the others cities closed to NYC like norwalk not even talk about Stamford here the taxes are little high but  the income compensate that be careful with Real Estate Agent that says they are Investor Friendly and they just want you to buy at high price so they get a good commission but over all bridgeport is a big city trying to get betterbest area is black rock but is expensive, Hallow are is good for cash flow but a lot of the area is hot zone, east side war zone but could be some ok section, north end on the border of Trumbull nice are, east end like Stafford ave and Connecticut ave this are in this days is war zone. all of this areas and what I said about them are my point of view so you can see what others investor says about it wish you the best on your investment and see you on the top :-)

The reason I'm looking at it is cause it seems like a nice property compared to what I can get when renting.

Just compare costs and the administrative differences. 

I told them it was relatively mild compared to some stuff I’d seen doing work for the PM.
