So ironic he just criticized getting a partner…and he made it sound like getting a partner means that partner is automatically hooked on drugs……..bleh.  

Ironically, we built a new construction home RIGHT NEXT DOOR to this gut rehabbed property (at the same time) and installed LVP in their basement as well.

That being said, your first step should be to iron out your budget details.

I have yet to see scoped cast iron sewer older than early 1950s that does not have something wrong.  

Some of the the things I would look for:Are the floors levelCracks in foundationRoof qualityCracked roof joist or wall studsWeird electrical junction boxesFunky plumbing... pvc pushed into cast iron pipes... cracks in piping

Nevertheless, our apples to apples comparison would need to be a pocket, or something very traditional with front spaces that go unused and very small back yards (15 feet depth).Having lived in one, are there any details that you would add, copy or avoid (sight lines to neighbors, small fences in front of porches, common bbq or fire pit areas)? 

But I am pretty good at it, how ironic life is.I wholesaled for about a year after I started.

Lead paint, asbestos, galvanized pipes, cast iron waste pipes, knob and tube wiring, ancient HVAC systems, and windows that need replacing.

Conversely, those staying for a week will use the BBQ, order takeout, go to restaurants, etc.  

Student loan debt and rent spikes will fuel a drive to even cheaper areas within the City and the local owners will embrace it but the tenants will be upset by the gentrifiers because their rents will go up and new, different businesses will push out older, familiar shops.I find it a little ironic that a couple of anti-gentrification folks are resorting to these types of tactics to keep presumably white gentrifiers out of a German neighborhood.
