Quote from @Reyna Ayala: Hi first time landlord to a duplex in new city.

Back to sec8, should be easy to see that's a fast-pass to time-suck-city. 

I had to cancel my credit card at CITI just to stop the fees.

I retired 10 years in and my wife 14 years into the journey. 85 % of my portfolio is 200 year old converted city row homes that are maintenance monsters and we still have enough cash flow to retire from our W-2.

please send me a case example I'd love to read. that's one appraisal. the knowledge I have as a licensed general contractor working with investors from 5 cities at a time all over the country buidling 3 different floorplans I would say trumps one ADU you read about online 

Population and economic growth, strong tourism, proximity to other New England cities.

PS Rochester and Buffalo were ground zero for much of this stuff also there were groups buying those homes for 10k packaging them up and selling them for 80k to investors from England. the city / state finally cracked down on that and there was some folks that got in trouble on the criminal side of it.. you can google it.. wont mention names but you can find it if you dig deep enoughBut this is nothing new.. buying hood rates for pennies and selling them for dollars to foreigners and unsuspecting out of state folks. 

In most of Raleigh city limits specifically, the lack of room to build new construction developments has stirred the folks in zoning.

But I do know our city needs a lot more of the first type. 

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!
