If I can find the deals next year I'll buy more. 1.7% deals on one group and 1.4% deals on the nicest group in a solid 'B' area that have likely already appreciated 10k per unit based on comps within 2 blocks. 

Do not get locked into 'analysis paralysis' as that seems to be a stumbling block for many new investors, especially in the 'information age' that we are currently living in.Let me know if you have any specific questions!

I was hoping a comp a couple of blocks away from this property would be the saving grace.

I’m looking at a smallish (4000 sq ft) office block on Main Street here in my market.

The numbers were inline with the homes on the block and other homes with the same value in the area. 

I asked them what you were supposed to do about drain pipes from sinks etc b/c those require demo'ing the flooring/slab to install new and it's insanely expensive.

We own a turn key single family 4 bed 3 bath on the Epcot side, a few blocks from the entrance to World Dr.

Still a kid in the block here trying to learn and excel.

I was wondering what judge was going to put their head on the chopping block...

Hi Jacki,In my opinion, Ballasts are service life items (wear and tear) vs cinder block walls which are not wear and tear items.Ballasts seem like maintenance issues.
