(sorry, I have kids and we watch lego movie a lot)Dave Ramsey detests debt... but so do all the other investors when you compare apples to apples.

In an apples to apples comparison, do more units per building lead to a cheaper price per unit.  

While you may think your expected cash flow is conservative, I'd take another look at the prior owner occupied unit, it is probably in better condition requiring less maintenance in the near future, an assumption, rarely are different units apples to apples in reality. 

I am wondering if it is like signing up for cable TV and internet where after you are in they raise the price.  

I assume you are not talking about cable TV.

I like the idea of flipping (mostly because of the tv shows) but am really focused on how to find, assess, finance, and protect the potential deals.

They were short about 300SQ Ft of what is on my street.So would you say they wont consider something if its not apples to apples?

For example in the kitchen, everything is one level gray, so you might want to add color on the countertops, whether its through some natural items of small natural woven baskets, cutting board or bowls of fruits(oranges or green apples are always a good choice) or maybe adding a color keurig. 

For the easiest way is to hire an Home Inspector that will go over all points for you will cost you about $300.For the Cheapest way and best way (recommended, so you can learn from your own experience) to go down your self for a couple of hours and inspect every corner of the house, wright down all that needs to be fixed, and get estimate from at least 3 different contractors, (usually give free estimates).Very important you should provide the list to be done so you can compare apples to apples.

I'm not willing to sell my condo right now as it is in a prime location, (near Apple HQ) and I wouldn't get much cash in the end after cap gains.How would a savvy investor make this land deal work?
