@Jonathan Johnson Take a look at the pod casts on bigger pockets, there are a lot of ideas on multi family investingGood luck and happy investing

Hello BP,Anyone have experience refinishing a cast-iron tub?

Bad areas also tend to come with late rents, evictions, etc. so those visits (that now cost twice as much because two people have to go) are far more frequent.Granted, this isn't fair, it's overgeneralizing, it's casting a wide net over a tenant-class where the vast majority are great people, so your mileage may vary.

The sewer lines are also likely cast iron which is likely to fail and be costly to replace.

That said, you need to have a good system to generate leads and the more systems you have, the larger the net that you can cast.

May also have issues with cast iron plumbing lines, parts of the house are knob and tube electrical which has been hacked over the years...  

., cast iron plumbing, old electrical work, inside walls are not sheet rock, they are plaster, etc.).

You will find resources here from blogs to pod casts and forums.

Multi family is good so are MHP  4. hook up with an Excellent HML who places funds for individuals you can make 9 to 12% pretty easy with no tenant issues.get some education either free on line or pay for it but get quality education so you understand the in's and outs... most of the on line stuff and pod casts are just glossing over concepts many of which may or may not work in your market.also get a RE licence this will give you basics and expose you to those in the industry.. especially the commercial space

Owe, and don't forget to watch all the BP Pod Cast.
