CIP deterioration is most negatively affected by soil issues (not applicable here), speed of flow through pipe (faster is better, within reason), and makeup of the effluent and gases within (mostly acidic for waste, possibly basic in heavy cleaning situations).

If you need to revise your offer just be up front and honest and let the sellers know as soon as possible so they can make adjustments or decisions for themselves.

Or SOMETHING - I don't think it's a valid assumption that there's even cash flow.We assume %15 of rent (kind of arbitrary) for maintenance / vacancy allowance but I think we should adjust that upwards and ground that in actual data now that we've been at it for long enough to attempt to do so.185k is a lot for a property.

*Before you ask / wonder, yes, it's almost July, but I filed an extension and the check was just delivered today.I'm not yet active in REI, but I'm sure learning as much as I can -- in large part thanks to y'all on this forum -- so that I'm at least somewhat prepared for that first opportunity.My initial thought was to completely pay off my wife's 6.5% adjustable student loan.

Thanks  @Ann Bellamy - you're right, didn't adjust for single family expenses. 

:) Can you get all the cars to go at 10X speed again when I'm there to see it?
