Do it
The numbers always look good when the area is ugly! But no need to run for the hills just yet. 😏. There are several factors that I consider when looking in a bad area : 1. Is it on the edge of a good hood/ transitioning area. 2. What does the street look like. 3. Is it quite. 4. Are there any public funds earmarked for the area. 5. How close is it to downtown/ walkable area. Other people have written in much greater detail and there are a few podcast s on buying in "bad" areas. Check out Al Williamson's stuff (no relation) that I know of). We bought a duplex in what people refer to as "the bottoms" our next door neighbors are drug dealers along with a few others on the block. 😅 But it's honestly not bad at all. Just make sure if you are going to invest in an area like that there is some momentum public or private or both.

We have a short term rental on air bnb and traditional rentals we have digital code locks on all the doors. I can change codes whenever I need to. Let contractors in without me being there as well as guests.

You can easily remove mold yourself. Some protective gear and some bleach with water and a good air purifier you'll be good. We had an unbelievable problem. I can show you pictures. It looked like it was an inch thick and hairy. I had never seen Black mold until then ( the stuff in the shower seems edible after that stuff) .

I listened to just about everyone of them they all help in someway no matter what your strategy is really. There is enough overlap that if it doesn't apply to your goals and strategy directly it will allow you to gain some insight to say a wholesalers job or how to finance your properties after you have have four. It also helps to develop your strategy if you haven't fully yet. It always easier to start with what you don't want to do.

I sent it to my agent and I'm pretty sure she didn't read it. She's the wife of a friend of mine from high school. She is well organized and on the ball however I know she doesn't understand my needs are different from a retail buyers. I wanted to put in an offer on a property at about 30k less than asking and she "encouraged" me to go Closer to asking. After inspection we were like we ll just ask for everything or a dollar amount and she said it's not usually good  the deal. Ultimately it's not a bad deal but I feel like she's more worried about her commission than our best interest and getting the best deal possible.
