You will need to find a good agent to walk through the property, and send you videos (One that you can trust)Get a solid inspection, identify contractors that will give you bids for any big-ticket items prior to you hitting contingency dates. 

If you just enlisted and you are not yet getting the 5% match from the DoD in your TSP you should be walking to your finance office right now to set this up.

You didn't do a walk thru with this tenant at checkout?

They normally charge a customer the walk in price, and pocket the savings they get from their relationship w/ the supply store.I think we are the #1 customer at our markets Home Depot.   

I know this from 2 contractors who I have had walk through the entire building.

We are closing on a multi-family in Newark NJ next week, the property is a four minute walk to Penn Station and has great rental potential. 

When I initially walked the property I noticed that there were 4 designated covered parking spots for tenants in my property and 4 additional uncovered parking spaces.

A suggestion is to try and connect with a rehabber in your local area and ask if you can go with them when they do a walk down of a property and see what they are looking for and what they are estimating the costs to be. 

Hey all and TIA for any inputs.I flipped a motel and walked out with 2m in 1031...

I am happy to walk either of you through the various kinds of funds (core vs value add, private vs crowdfunded, etc) Hope this helps.
