Welcome to Bp Ryan!

Education is always a big step, what I have found thur residential investing is on the job training is the best. Here in central Iowa Ruhl and Ruhl is the heavy hitters in Commercial leasing and selling, if you are seriously interested I would look in to finding a commercial leasing and development company in Iowa City or the Quads see what kind of jobs they have available.

There is a Commercial forum on this site search under forum categories, there are also blogs about commercial investing under Education if you haven't already found them.

Hope this can help you out a little bit. Go Hawks!

You are correct Victorian home to a tri plex.

Yes new electric has been run.

It has an old boiler. I plan on replacing with a new efficient one during the summer if I acquire it.

It has cast iron going in to the ground then clay tile running to the street.

All units have window air.
