If they Wanted to stay inside a duplex within class A+ neighborhood?

That neighborhood is ROUGH!

From what I’ve heard in a piece by Bloomberg, that’s not unusual in many East Coast neighborhoods...

Painting, plastering, refitting out fixtures and fittings, windows and doors.

With a manageable purchase price and the opportunity for high-impact renovations, it fit perfectly within our investment strategy, promising a solid return.

Market Range for neighborhood is $330-415k. 

They mentioned how Dom helped them narrow down neighborhoods for a multi-family purchase and even flagged potential zoning issues before they made an offer.

3: Does the property fit with your current investing goals? 

We are buying new construction in the most desired areas of the market, and buying the smaller properties in the neighborhood, not the big ones.

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.
