@Ben Ballinger I think that first you need to evaluate if it's even possible. as @Deanna McCormick pointed out, Washers/Dryers in the units require special hookups (electricity, plumbing, venting, sometimes gas) this could cost you a lot of money to create these or to maintain them if the property is not setup for this.Personally, I like the in-unit because it allows you to charge rent for the machines and it frees up your basement to generate more income by creating another unit or rentable storage units or you could create a shared space that will increase the attractiveness of your units (maybe a library, a game room, fitness room etc

It does not specially stipulate what happens in a partial breakage.

Specially I want to know how to evaluate if the bank is essentially giving me a good deal.

You can also get in touch with several reputable contractors in your area that specialize in certain things and get some reasonable ballpark figures - electricians for panel replacements, roofers for asphalt shingle roof replacement per square, etc.

You'll meet tons of people and you will end up meeting that person that you just click with.I have met dozens of people that do what I want to do but if you don't have that special connection, it will be hard to take it to the next level.

Alameda is special and people love it.

There may be special VA loans for commercial property.  

It will be a good idea to get an agent on your team that specializes in these types of properties.I would also suggest driving for dollars, doing some research on those properties and some targeted marketing efforts.Good Luck!

Hi folks, Can anybody in or near the Hemet, CA area recommend a good broker that specializes in Real estate investing for a new agent to work for and learn under? 

More specifically I specialize in modular and manufactured homes, so my deals are a bit more like new construction or "demo and replace".Currently I have a 69 lot subdivision under contract that is ready for homes.
