Hi everyone,I’m planning to purchase a duplex in the 44109 zip code (Old Brooklyn area) and wanted to get investor perspective before moving forward.Here are the deal basics:Purchase price: ~$180KCash to close: ~$45KProperty type: DuplexYear built: ~130+ years oldCondition: Previously renovated, minimal visible work needed foundation etc. 

I focus on hyper-specific lists: absentee owners, pre-foreclosures, or properties with code issues, so I’m not wasting time on generic leads. 

Without guidance, it’s easy to misjudge a neighborhood, overpay, or run into zoning, code, or tenant issues.

. - non-paying tenants- deferred maintenance- title issues- open permits, code violations, etc.All the best to you on your search!

When problems surface later — outdated systems, code issues, deferred maintenance — the cost isn’t just financial.

Feel free to contact me for my friends and family discount code. 2.

AI will absolutely help with automation (coding suggestions, anomaly detection, faster reconciliations), but the *accountant’s job* is to translate messy reality into clean financials that won’t fall apart under scrutiny.So yeah—AI will change the workflow.

There’s also the risk of a nosy neighbor noticing your contractors, trucks, or frequent activity and calling code enforcement.

Also, are there specific zip codes you're avoiding?

I am generating 3,500-4,000 leads PER DAY across 6,513 zip codes in 100 markets and they come straight from the courts, trustees, sheriffs etc.
