Hey folks, looking for a good buy & hold opportunity and trying to tune my radar.  This looks like a very good opportunity to me.

$1,600 / mo rent ($800 x 2 units)

$145,000 listed sale price

B-/C+ neighborhood.

Any thoughts?  What questions should I be asking?

Thank you,

Steve

@Steve Wilson I almost bought a house just down the block from this. The area is a little rough. Make sure to check the crime stats. Montana Ave is the main road through Westwood and can attract some seedy people. It would really help to have boots on the ground to help you out.  I would recommend looking into property in Cheviot which is right next to Westwood. Much less crime.
