Adding more inventory and pushing down prices.Can you make money on a scattered set build out, sure one at a time.

As you're about to see I'm very scatter brained at the moment and trying to ingest as much information as possible!

.- Decreasing appetite for cash out refinances, high leverage, interest-only, and peculiar deals (scattered site, low liquidity, nonlocal sponsors)- Mixed-use deals having their retail income underwritten at $0 unless big national credit tenants.- Falling collections at properties playing hell with deals in process. 

Baltimore has probably the most multi families, and there are a few others scattered throughout Maryland and DC, but we just do not find them in the numbers that you find in more northern cities like Philadelphia, NYC, Boston etc.Also due to the lack of the multifamilies, when there is one that is actually in good shape and in a good area, they do get bid up past what many feel is a good investment.

It's the winter that would probably kill me in Michigan though - I love that our snow here MELTS after a few days, and that we get some warm sunny days scattered through the winter.IMO, I think you could be making a great (and bold) move.

I apologize in advance if my question seems scattered but it must be a way to get this 'ball rolling".

If you do not plan to live in the duplex, then you can usually find some deals on duplexes scattered throughout the city in zip codes like 38111, 38115, 38117 and 38118.   

It's really gone down hill, but that being said there are some decent neighborhoods scattered throughout.
