Maybe you didn't create the situation, maybe you charge what you have to to stay in business, but do you at least feel empathy you are benefiting from a seller's market that is crushing most buyers?

As you start going closer to to the 71, the areas get really sketchy.There is a pretty good post here on BP that goes over many zip codes in KC.

Closing is on the 1-31-19 in Redford MI (suburb of Detroit MI) and the contractor quoted a price of $6800 and wanted $4500 upfront I negotiated down to to $3200 but I am still a little uncomfortable.

I only need 5 - 7 S.F. to to repair water damage.  

Around 3 months ago, some SBA lady contacted to to verify loan information. 

You are talking about "fair market rent", but a unit that hasn't been updated in over 15 years will require rehab to get to to "fair market condition".Lets say it costs $6000 per unit to update.

Seems like a great way to to get some experience without putting too much at risk.My wife stays at home with our 7-month old son, and I just started working remote.

I also worked for lawyers and I know the professional responsibility laws that lawyers must adhere to to keep their license.  

Not sure if I should still invest in a multifamily  by Troy Upstate Ny, because it is not a Landlord Friendly State and protects bad tenants  from being evicted right away in 2-3 months like you can in PA or CT..My Fears & Concerns Are:I get bad tenant who knows how to play the system to delay the eviction process, may even purposely breaks things in apartment and state not paying rent till all things are repaired and then does not open door when someone comes to repair the problem all a scheme to to delay the eviction process up to 2 years in some cases as I have heard of horror stories.Question:1) Should I buy multifamily  elsewhere like PA or CT which have laws in place to evict BAD tenants fast within 3 months2) Should I still consider investing in upstate NY if I find a good deal despite the laws that protect bad tenants, if so WHY ?

They could most likely close in 35 days from when the put the sign up.If they need help figuring out a price they could simply get several Realtors to to BPOs.
