Bought a 3700 sqr ft duplex in Ashtabula OH, the burbs of Cleveland. 4/1.5 and a 4/2 duplex.

Through a client and a lot of research and connections through my Personal Training Industry How did you finance this deal?

Hi, I’m highly considering a mixed use building which includes a few residential units and a couple commercial units.

I would find a property that can provide you both.I used to aim for 8% cash on cash return + 4% appreciationGiven where the market is now, it is likely hard to find 8% cash-on cash and a 4% appreciation.I think 4% cash-on cash and 4% appreciation is do-able.

We got notice in 2008 that it was being shut down by the SCC and a receiver was put into place. 

Do you have your finances in order now and a pre-approval so you know what price point you should be targeting?

As both a realtor and a general contractor.

My original SFR was 1100sf and I added 2 units: an 800sf SB9 unit and a 750sf ADU (converted garage plus addition).

We put in two new baths, kitchen, and a nice landscaping package.

I believe your witness to the smell and a signed affidavit from a neighbor or two would be enough to evict.
