This is dangerous because the seller has an incentive to minimize expenses in order to make the investment look as attractive as possible in order to get it sold; the real estate agent stands to earn a fat commission check.

Having a non cash flowing house  with a heloc on it is like marrying a big fat Chic with long blonde hair .

Don't give up a 4 plex,improve the situation.Improve the property and get better tenants for higher rents.Work the problem,you will regret giving someone else your profits after you sell it.Agents will tell you anything to get you to sell and give them fat commission checks so get honest opinions from people who get no profits from your property.

Typical Milwaukee 4plex mechanicals, furnaces and water heaters centrally located in the basement.I would not be doing them myself, those days are behind this fat old Sicilian ... ;-)
