For the experienced multifamily investor:Assuming all systems are good and there is little to no deferred maintenance what sort of value do you think a stabilized, brick skinned quadraplex with slanted roof would be worth in a solid "C+" area with shopping (WalMart, Kroger, etc) and public transportation within walking distance and major employment centers nearby?

A lot of portfolio lenders dont want you to take more than your "own skin in the game," out before 6 -12 months either, atleast this has been my experience with WA local portfolio lenders however I am sure there will be someone out there who will do it or do it with enough financial wherewithal.
