I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.

I’ll also call code enforcement and check the county records just to see when things like roof/hvac have been done/permitted. 

Areas near downtown Ventura or the college (Ventura College) are worth exploring for strong tenant demand.

Typically will be rent by rent strategy (which is tough for none owner occupants) or College rental.   

Had an issue with trying to self-permit a build a few years back that was an HPR but had an "A" and "B" designation.

If I was looking in PG County, I think Hyattsville and College Park would be my main targets.
