Ultimately, I feel losing my leash to W2 will allow me to entertain areas I previously didn’t have time for, or focus more time on my current REI path.

The outside is dilapidated yes but the main structure seems sturdy, there is some yard upkeep that would need to be done as well.

@Adam Kuszczak most major metro cities will follow the same pattern...the "inner city" will be largely original housing stock...late 1800s to mid 1900's...developments typical radiate from the city center with age...so, 1950's through 1980's built properties are usually 3-5 miles from city center with the newest concentration of properties outside of interstate bypasses (usually forming a circle or partial circle around metro areas)...there is infill building and exceptions to these rules, but property age will be your #1 determining factor of where the properties you are targeting will be located.Building materials and methods of construction (along with codes) were very different from one decade to the next, but homes are surprisingly sturdy and most anything can be fixed.

Buy the 96 gallon trash cans so they are nice and new and sturdy, label them, pay someone to remove the trash and I think that solves your problem.

I was looking into something like a plastic one from Home Depot/Costco, one that’s sturdy and gets the job done but isn’t too costly.

It is sturdy, with steel beams siting on top of the concrete blocks.

Is my 3 year “leash” too short sighted if I decided to cut bait and 1031 exchange into something else newer build in a better neighborhood?

I have a LVP project now, but sub floors aren't as level and perfect as one would like so was thinking glue down with luan underneath would be more sturdy and hold up better in this case than floating locking style.

Dogs are too likely to bark, owners don't clean up after them, and an off-leash dog creates a lot of problems.

This makes them sturdy investments because the resale value most if these property's sit in a prime location.
