185k per unit?  Too high for Allentown.  Even if so called "luxurious" apartments.  I personally would skip this.

Former Navy.  Never got a degree and still wondering if I should use my Post 911 GI Bill to finish one. Things are busy with kids, business and life in general.  Got a few more years before it expires.  Welcome to BP and I am in the Lehigh Valley.  Maybe we will see each other in one of the real estate investor meetings. Good luck.

@Matt Tallent What you are looking for is service line coverage.  When you said insurance you will confuse the reps at the utilities company. You can typically get it through the utilities company, added to your property insurance or separately through a vendor.  Philadelphia Contributionship, Erie out of the carriers I represent has it.   Phila can do up 10k to 15k of coverage, Erie is 10k.  You can also call around the local insurance agents and ask them to get more choices.
