Chuck as a general rule of thumb I personally try to avoid going past anything with double digits streets. So I likely wouldn't have considered the west end but now that I think about it there is a little pocket west of 264 and south of Broadway which could present some opportunities and not directly be in the higher crime areas which are out there.
My thoughts on this were to target a few places Okolona/Newburg areas in general (Preston hwy, Fern Valley, Outer Loop, Poplar Level, Indiana Trail. Southern Parkway/Taylor Blvd going slightly north of 264 and as far south as 265 and then anything west of Dixie. I'd also like east of 65 and south of Broadway, but my gut feeling is that while homes like this may exist they aren't as plentiful.
My thoughts were these would present older established homes, blue collar, not high crime. Obviously I wouldn't jump at just anything both from a improvements required/trashy area. There was a period of time when my wife and I were young, had a child, not finished our education, and worked awful jobs just to be broke, so I have a faith in our ability to identify the right type of individuals, (those who are trying)
I also though about the possibility of foregoing the multiple houses and instead buying 1 house in old louisville near U of L with 3-4 units and targeting students. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the locations for the section 8 homes and the idea around U of L.
Thank you for pointing out the locations to look. I likely would have just stayed to MLS and zillow.
Seriously to everyone, thank you so much.
