That just goes with the territory.

There's Norfolk which will be strong because of the large Navy presence, there's Newport Blues and a bunch of other towns.

At a 5% downpayment, the monthly total payment is ~5k and perhaps the rents could be increased a bit but even then, they'd only be around 5k total monthly gross rental income..after any expenses and repairs you're in negative territory. i don't really understand who would buy that property..I guess an owner occupant who doesn't mind having a higher personal monthly payment still, or someone just seriously banking on appreciation and willing to incur negatives during the meantime which seems silly..but i agree with the original poster that lots of multis in these areas (wicker/logan proper/humboldt) are priced like this kedzie one and basically aren't a good deal sadly, since they are the nicer properties (location and often turnkey wise). have to go further north/west to get the deals. im hunting for a 2-4 flat myself and wish it could be in prime palmer square location like the kedzie unit linked, but the numbers just dont work

I'm reviewing my social presence to see where I can separate myself from the pack.

My particular subdivision has a few rentals--most are rented short term due to the military presence on the arsenal.

While I would avoid lagoons and waste water treatment plants, for sewage management options, the presence of water wells and/or septic systems should not be a deal killer, in my view, especially in light of the fact that the investors are bidding up prices for parks on municipal utilities.
