After utilities, we are breaking even or in the minus a bit.

Separate utility from excess & bling and stop trying to impress people that don't matter (like strangers on the freeway looking at your newly-leased $700/month Mercedes - foolish!). 

Many CPAs will not know how to utilize these real estate programs.If you as investors need to show financials and do some modification on the financials to collapse or whatnot, the CPA might or might not do it on their QB.

Utilizing some of the technological resources out there (shared calendars, project status updates, clear email chains) to keep all team members on the same page for this project has been key.

@Charles Kao Yes they have signed leases till next 5 years so no need to renegotiate the rents... couple of Tenants have extensions after 5 yrs term...

-Future sight is that this property is zone for multifamily, so being able to utilize the lot might affect its value.

—What is the max you would pay for a property where rents are $5,000 total, assume a 4-Unit and assume tenants pay utilities, renovated turn key.

Any thoughts on how I might utilize a VA for this or which service to use?

Basement pipes are dripping and utility tub is filled up and I am very cautious in using water inside the property.

They are liveable, but new flooring, trim and paint would help spruce things up.For my analysis, I used some of the sellers pro forma info (as I have not fully accurately looked into items such as insurance, prop taxes, utilities, ect.) and used what I believe my numbers and annual income from rent/storage would be.
