Mount airy can definitely be a very difficult area to navigate and I actually turned to Stuart and ask him about his expertise because sometimes even as a professional I am not 100% proficient in the neighborhood.

@Paul NovakWell it turned out to be a good decision with everyone happy all around. 

If not, then serve the non-renewal and prepare to turn the unit as efficiently as possible to reduce costs and vacancy.

For example for me, CoC does not matter as I buy in A/B areas and I hold long term so I am comfortable knowing even if I have zero a slightly negative CoC to start over the long term it will turn and I will end up with a nice return after many years. 

Setting that aside, I don't believe its realistic to buy a home and turn around and flip it without making any improvements.

The GFC unfortunately hit all of us lenders pretty hard and I had a concentration in Jackson and ATL and Memphis so I had to move to Jackson for a year to clean up my portfolio I thought I was going to be there for maybe a few weeks but that turned out to be a year and I got very fortunate I was able to rent the developers house at Reunion .

Because opinions and advice can turn out to be misleading or plain wrong, I rather share facts, knowledge and experience rather than sharing personal opinions or advice on a public forum like this.

It couldn’t have turned out better!

so it turned into an accidental flip.i have one i did in 2021-2022 that broke even when i finished, but now cash flows well because i've been able to raise the rent a few times.happy to help further
