I think some of the questions to ask a seller would be what big repairs need to be made (like roof, mechanicals, etc), but if you're at the house with the seller you can pretty much see it for yourself.

The mechanics are different, but that's at least partly driven by the need for wholesalers to avoid being an "unlicensed broker".

if you have 900 dollars on a CC, pay it off. carrying a balance on CCs far outweighs most investment mechanisms (ie if you have 1000 dollars on a cc paying 14% interest and 1000 dollars in a cd making 6% interest, how much are you making?

I have an undergrad in Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering myself.

Yes, I have seen the mechanics and nuts and bolts with a team layout to make your dream work.Sometimes 'the mesage' in any experienced guru/coach has to be translated in a way that is unique to you and at the right time where you are ready to absorb it.   

If the buildings almost need new roofs,mechanicals,etc. then most of your cash flow projection went out of the window.Your 7.5% with deferred CAPEX could become 5.5% in year 1 and 2 because of major repairs.It also depends on how long you want to hold it.

While parts might be unlikely, and others unenforceable, you don’t need the headache or expense if anything bad occurs.Assuming this is not a strict NNN lease; my argument against these clauses is that you’re leasing the premises and all relevant mechanical systems, not buying them.

The ones that passed the cut I then look at mechanicals and other high cost items.

That is important because it illustrates the institutional investors feel comfortable with the new rules of sale, have setup mechanisms to insure bond payments and structured yields high enough to meet market demands.  

@Aroldo Villarreal That question varies state to state but in Indiana you can file a Mechanics Lien, list publication of sale and obtain ownership through the BMV/DMV.
