Solid mechanicals, solid roof, foundation in great shape, everything you could want in a building... they tried to sell it for a decade and received exactly 0 offers.  

I decided to manage it myself since I want to get a grasp on all aspects of being a landlord. 

Under contract for $1,275,000, accounted for 1% closing costs, and threw in 50k for capex stuff (turnover and one of the roofs need to be replaced).

I have one trusted guy that does the interiors, and then I end up finding other contractors for big items (plumber, roof, electrician, carpet etc). 

I also went out and checked the property and the biggest costs I see is roof (hasn't been changed since at least 2015), one of the two AC units.

Common roof deck w/ sweeping views, laundry right outside the unit.

Another option is to inspect the major items like roof, mechanicals, plumbing, and electrical ahead of making your offer (assuming you are confident you can get it or willing to risk the costs of said inspection without a signed contract).

I.e. you can choose not to spend on a 15 yr old roof today, and probably don't need to, but you will have that roof replacement coming in 5-10 years, assuming you still own the property.

I had trouble just doing DoorDash shifts regularly after I got my license because of how much time I spend on other aspects of my sales agent biz. 

They tend to sub out the drywall taping, roofing and carpet the most.
