Anthony Contento , I'm not sure how seriously I can take anything written by a film character.

That being said, that's not proven, it's just something I would make a bet on.Here are some positives I would look for:- Local character and flavor, these days walkable cities are very popular.- Young migration- New jobs and industries moving in- Business friendly environment- Near other areas that have grown recently- Good schools, universities, or another story for attraction- Cash-flow, gotta make your numbers in the meantime.

But I would rather just move on and connect with right folks than dwell with such characters which is dime a dozen..Will provide more update to the thread as things gets cleared up.

Surprisingly when the house was (re)wired in the 1950s, fuse panels were put into each quadrant of each floor of the main house (essentially each room) and the rooms were wired to the local panel rather than trying to pull wiring back to the mechanical room in the basement.The last remaining descendants, who themselves are getting on - live quite some distance away, and have been maintaining the house since their parents have passed away {I'm told the property has/had its own trust fund}, but now want to be rid of the burden.I could turn it into six nice apartments - but unless I destroyed the character of the building in the process, the current operating costs {10K/year to heat) would make it un-viable.

@Bill GulleyAre the character attacks and insults really necessary because they serve no purpose and benefit no one? 

Start with attending CFREIA you will meet all types of characters there.

This gives me a sense of respect/appreciation for your character.

Makes your rental feel more like a home versus an empty unit with no character.  

Both these guys are like comic book characters.

I spoke to a real estate agent and he went to look at a property that looked well on paper, but there were some shady characters hanging around.
