@Marjeanne FieldsThanks for inputI have flipped 35 single family houses so I have a clear understanding as far as rehab costsI put number higher due to common areas that need updating which will cost me 60-10k so I just divided that cost by 32 and added to each unitIt’s literally next door to a great hospital and 1 min from train station in a very good areaMy gut says stay away - there isn’t currently enough cash flow to allow fixing up units.I know hat buyer wants to unload He got to big to fast and doesn’t have time to deal with this.
