Especially if it's rent controlled, and not stabilized: Rent controlled units are so rare they function like assets unto themselves.

I look at a building and if it's ugly, I go "yup, that's distressed" That's a joke, for all of you haters :-)Anyway, there's a difference between distressed and old but functional.

This significant increase in value is necessary to minimize the money trapped in the RE.The return is a function of invested amount, cash flow and appreciation, time.  

Quote from @Adam Macias: A 50-year mortgage sounds like affordability — but it’s really it'll be debt that never ends. lolOn paper, stretching a mortgage from 30 years to 50 lowers the monthly payment, yes.But in reality, you’re paying far more in interest while barely building equity for decades.If you buy a house at 25 years old if you're lucky, you'll be 75 when the mortgage term ends...It’s housing that feels like ownership but functions more like renting — just with a longer contract and a higher total cost.The real problem isn’t the length of the loan.It’s the affordability crisis that’s forcing people to consider lifetime debt as a solution.Until we address prices, wages, and supply, extending loan terms only delays the inevitable...The further elimination of the middle class chasing the American Dream of owning a home.
