An upper cabinet would look weird.

Mine was 120 miles and I made it work by having a team do all the leg work. 

This is a secular trend that has legs and not a one hit wonder.  

You can do the Leg Work, they provide the Capital. 

I find many of the "better" neighborhoods price points, Such as New Scotland, Upper Western Ave, etc. the numbers hardly work if you’re keeping a flat to yourself unless you’re renting out additional rooms in your unit.

I'm also looking at an A class in an exceptional A class area where the address is a premier location and people really want to be there.My thought is similar to yours: some people that can afford the units may lose jobs, but for the most part, the very upper class, trendy areas tend to attract a clientele that should be able to handle the next downturn.

With this information mind you can property inject yourself into the most beneficial part of the lifecycle giving you an upper hand over other bidders.

The property that will be appraised is a fixer upper and he will have to take into consideration the upgrades that will be done on the property based on the scope of work. 

Just purchased my first 3-family home in Rochester, NY (Upper Monroe Neighborhood!). 

Why do it when that market is showing great signs of stress right now (especially at the upper end of rents)?
