I’ve been involved with real estate for quite a bit of time.

These lines require the involvement of a commercial lender but can make sense.  

This thread has been incredibly helpful as I've been trying to understand all that is involved in valuing an apartment.

You're just paying with pre-tax dollars rather than after tax dollars.Further, there are costs involved with buying and HUGE costs involved with selling.Don't fall for the BS the real estate industry puts out. 

Unless you are thinking there are other things I should be thinking about other then vacancy, cleaning, minor repairs?

I got it all cleaned up (special crime scene clean up is expensive thank God for insurance) and was terrified it would not rent and that the neighbors would run off any prospective tenants with the story.

There's a world of opportunity out there, learn as much as you can, get involved with discussions and post up any questions you want answered.

Whether a Roth conversion makes sense to any one investor is a complex matter involving so many factors such as age, income, value being converted, cost of conversion, projected future tax bracket, etc.The cost of the the conversion would be determined based the appraised value of a property, less the outstanding debt. 

@Garrett Wilson, if you were "buying directly from the seller", how on earth did the wholesaler get involved?

Do I just work with zoning for that or would the design/build people get involved this early in the process?
