The units have electric furnaces, electric water heater, no washer/dryers, and the range is gas.We had an electrician recommended to us by a contractor who is doing some extensive work inside some of these units.

The thing you will hear a lot from the grey haired guys in the room at networking events " I wish I had started when I was young"

When I buy buildings I also have been installing used washers and dryers as I just can't pony up $2500-3000 for a set of new washer/dryer coin op machines. 

In some of them it's a fabric panel you have to replace or wash; in some of them it's more like the lint filter on a dryer (a plastic or wire mesh) that you just scrape off/wash off and reinstall. 

Would home owners; (a) Freak out, run around the living room, set hair on fire, and call agents to rapidly list home for sale?

I get tired of variable monthly payments because they try to nail it down to a hair's width.

I could tell it was inconvenient for him to come show the property and they were willing to take any offer to the owner in order to get this out of their hair!

I need help analyzing this deal:3 family house in Queens (Bayswater near 5 Towns)Asking price: $518kTax appraisal: $415kTaxes: will be $4,000 in 20173.5% down House: -- upper level 3 beds/2baths washer&dryer hookup-- ground level 3 beds/2baths with a finished half basement which has a half bath plus washer&dryer hookup-- basement level 2beds/1bath washer&dryer hookupCurrent rent roll for 3 spaces is appx $4,300I'm planning on putting in an offer on it but I'm not sure what offer I should put.

The housing choice voucher program doesn't pay market here because they don't pay extra for things like remodeled kitchens and baths, garages, AC, washer/dryer hookups -- things tenants like and are willing to pay extra for.

On a side note, I had pipes freeze at one of my units last weekend, I spent two hours on my back in a crawl space with a hair dryer.
