It appears to be a great property that your team worked quick to finish.

Just shingle it, its quick and easy and will last 20+ years.

Pros are you can acquire more property quickly.

Some property's need to be listed very quickly due to foreclosures and may be listed prior to obtaining photos.

Hello BP,I have spent hours combing through old posts learning the world of commercial real estate investing.It has always been my dream to buy a small to mid size apt complex.However, I live in Seattle, and I quickly realized I was priced out of the market.

The majority of areas nearby where I live are that way as appreciation has been going up very quickly and the rent will take some time to catch up.There's 3 ways you profit off a property: cashflow from rent, equity paydown of a mortgage and appreciation.
