When you mentioned there are plenty of investors with financing lined up is that a product of the investor(s) having an already established relationship with banks/financiers who are giving them a green light based on prior deals?  

@Julian IllingworthLooks like a good cash flower but I agree with @Aaron Montague that the maintenance and capex looks light.

I emailed the following report to the building management via their online service portal:Subject: Flooding in apartment on 26 May 2015/ Carpet Removed & not ReturnedI am following up on the flooding that occurred in unit #1905 on the morning of Tuesday, 26 May 2015.As witnessed by security guard on duty (D...) and the concierge on duty (A...) quite a bit of water entered the apartment due to what should have been a sealed area of the window and the wall - not an open window.I was told that maintenance would be coming to inspect this and to caulk this area.Please let me know when they will be doing this - especially in light of the fact that we are approaching hurricane season.Finally, as also witnessed, my rug was soaking wet due to this flooding.Hence, it was removed from my apartment and I was told that it would be cleaned.It is almost a week now and I have not received my carpet.

Have you considered updating the lights, changing out equipment, and using intelligent energy management?

That being said, several projects are under way now, demand for DT residential is very high, one very large residential project that has been sitting for years just got the green light on the loan paperwork, more businesses prospering etc.  

They can literally see us walk in/out of the bathroom unless we have the curtains drawn, but then there's no natural light in the living room.We would like to build an 8-ft tall cinder block wall (similar to our one with the other neighbor) between us and the apartments.

I won a bid on a property on HUD at 69% discount at $70k, the Market value is $110k, and MLS has it for $105k the property needs about $5k in rehab just light work.

If they're serious that lights a fire under them.

Off the top of my head it needs:-Kitchen -Appliances-Flooring on all of first floor-Paint-TLC in bathroom-New carpets on second floor-Light plumbing-New windows in basementI will hopefully have it inspected by the end of the weekend.

Your contribution in this area is vitally important and perhaps it is wise to rethink dimming the light you shine on others in this way.Real estate investing can be a great way to earn your financial freedom.
