The reason I ask is I have had 2 separate offers accepted only to fail during an inspection.

My brother has been living in an apartment complex since 2005.

@Raimel Diaz Yes, you WON the auction and it looks like you've committed to purchase the property as is without an inspection.  

I personally ended up buying my last two Berwyn apartment deals with partners.

Also, I travel a lot in my primary profession so I have no issue with vacating my condo and finding another living situation (maybe a small apartment) if I'm able to develop a passive income stream by doing so.

Unless my tenants are burning down their apartments annually, I can't imagine that figure being accurate.Our expenses in the JP 4plex honestly don't exceed $700 a month, if that.Does this rule maybe only apply to areas where rent isn't as high as Boston?

There’s an apartment complex for sale about 30 minutes from my home.

Hey everyone, I was talking to a friend of mine who’s renting a basement apartment from the landlord who lives upstairs.

., including things like the reserve fund for each property that's just sitting there, amortized cost of legal, accounting, insurance, etc. for the overall business, inspection, loan fees, closing costs, rehab, holding costs, etc.).

Even though the money from Section 8 is guaranteed, there are still inspections annually and you stiull may chase the portions that the tenants owe.
