You want a cordial relationship with your tenants, but not to be at their beck and call ever time a light goes out.  

The following IRS website sheds light on UBIT. https://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Unrela...

Comps should be within 1/2 a mile to 1 mile away preferably. 30 minutes away is light years away for determining comps.Crossing state lines aside, your market can be completely different from one street to the next let alone a completely different city.

But these are specific team leaders - so I might consider them down the line.I know very little about Coldwell Banker so if anybody can shed some light on that I would be very appreciative.

I can also do the demo, painting and light carpentry, which will help the profit margin. 

There's some minor wiring issues in the garage with lights, but nothing terrible.Anyway, there is a 50k home equity loan against the place and that's it.  

As for labor you gotta ask one of your local contractor how much they're charging to do carpeting for That X sqft.If you don't wanna do all that you can simply use $10/sqft for light rehab, $15/sqft for medium rehab and $20/sqft for major rehab and get your numbers that way.

Of course, this after you have found your team members there.Be sure to set up an alert to include your city, state target area; and maybe along with    discounted, light rehab to begin with.This has been an @information nugget.May Your Efforts Be Rewarded!

In fact I think I have Dyscalculia (it's a learning disability where a person has difficulty comprehending and manipulating numbers).I know I can't escape numbers if I want to go into real estate, but there has to be a few careers in RE that are more math light than others.  

The units are separated for electricity, but it has a separate meter for outdoor security lighting and indoor hallway lighting which I see as a very good thing as in Massachusetts the Tenant/Landlord laws are incredibly strict and tenants paying for common space utilities is a big no no.
