You can get a more realistic sense of what a unit is worth, and whether it will make you money after expenses, by searching public records. Every county in the United States posts property records in its online tax portal. The particulars vary from county to county, but you can usually find your county’s tax portal by doing a Google search for “Your County Name + Your State + parcel ID.” My first deal was in Blacksburg, Virginia (Montgomery County), so I searched “Montgomery County VA parcel ID.”
