One thing I would do is the foundation and the termite, check to see if you list it at market value if you can get someone to buy the place and disclose the issues and give them a credit or meet them in the middle or even 2/3s of the cost and you can save some money and maybe even get the deal to make some money. 

The bottom of the scale is where the units adjoins another unit on more than one wall or floor, like an apartment, a condo, or a townhouse in the middle of the row. 

@Stephanie Cortez As RE investing gets more complex and cities like Philly are getting tougher, the savvy investors are doing well and buying up opportunities, the newer investors are often stumbling through their first acquisitions and learning the hard way how resilient they are (or are not) and the folks in the middle are hopefully working on getting smarter and more careful about everything - vetting tenants better, being smart about renovations and maintenance, exploring alternate strategies when necessary. 

Quote from @Anne Connor: Hello,I’m deciding between two very different house hacks in Chicago and could use some experienced advice.Option 1 — West Town / Ukrainian Village 3-UnitAround ~$720KLegal 3-unit (top, middle, garden unit)Market rents: ~$2,300 / $2,300 / $1,400–$1,600Total around ~$6,100Amazing neighborhood + great appreciationBUT the garden unit gets discounted by lenders → lower usable rentDTI hit ends up around ~$1,500/moOption 2 — Jefferson Park 3-Unit + Coach HouseAround ~$735KLegal 3-unit All units above gradeMarket rents: ~$6,200–$6,700 totalLender counts the income much betterDTI hit around ~$1,250/moMuch easier to qualify for my next propertyMy goal:To scale fast — buy again in 18–24 months, then keep stacking 2–4 units.My dilemma:West Town = stronger appreciationJefferson Park = better DTI + better underwritingRents are similar, but lenders treat garden units and coach houses VERY differentlyIf the Jefferson Park one looks good in person, I’m leaning that way…But if it’s only average, should I just take the West Town one or keep looking?

I finally found a property that will cashflow, im in the middle of getting multiple quotes for the rehab work that needs to be done.  

Louis, Kansas City, Denver, and the Western distribution spine.That rail line is one of our quiet superpowers.While coastal markets deal with 30%+ office availability and distressed loans, Kentucky sits in the middle of a logistics triangle that keeps getting more valuable every year.It’s why industrial here barely budged even as other cities saw their vacancy rates double.

If you're in the middle class or lower it's cheaper to do nothing.We have a listing that's $189k, fully remodeled, with a park across the street.

The green area in the middle.

It is 2019, middle of March, and I just got this brochure for the same project.
