Hi Jordan,I agree with Nicole, Condos can look attractive initially, but you have to do your due diligence, There are a lot more potential costs that are out of your control from COA fees, special assessments, violations, etc. than a SFR or small multi family.

You could have negotiated with your agent requesting that they lower their commission to help make the deal more attractive to the HUD Agent, but this its not common practice, and would probably be at least a little insulting to your agent. 

I'm not sure how long these homes have been sitting vacant however you will be taking them as is, closing quickly, keeping the homes in the park, advertising these homes to attract a good deal of foot traffic through the park that may help sell other homes, and also attract good buyers that will bring up the value of this community.

Hi David,The attraction of apartments and multi-family properties is that all of your expenses are under one roof.

So I make the conditions possible to attract such. 

Hi @Timothy Aughinbaugh,I don't know your market at all so take what i say with a grain of salt :)The properties look great for my area and would attract a good tenant base.

We've had great success in attracting + retaining good tenants and owners by providing an easy to use online portal.  

But on the other hand, potential buyers might be turned off by possibly having smoking attached neighbors.What do you think would attract more buyers at this price point?

The city's been doing a lot to make that part of town more attractive over the past few years.  

Often, investors exit when they cannot keep up with such expenses as taxes and mortgage plus the inability to attract income through getting tenants.
