Brush off the haters.

Slumlords overcharge for property in poor neighborhoods that is kept in poor repair and allowed to deteriorate.A slumlord causes negative viewpoints of a landlord to be painted with a broad brush.  

Brush up on building code requirements: in basements you're looking for egress windows that are 5.7 sq feet or more openable (3ft by 3ft casement style windows work best), and ceiling heights 6ft 8 inches or greater (as little as 6 ft 4 inches is ok under ductwork and beams though)Sounds like your basement would be a home-run to generate some extra rental income - Happy to talk through the details of that strategy with you, just shoot me a DM! 

That is great, but I worked for a year clearing brush and hauling debris ect.
