(Need to commute to midtown w/o a car and for it to be safe enough for my girlfriend to be comfortable walking alone in the evening)I’ve thought about D4D/direct marketing but I don’t know how effective it would be in the NYC area?

We do Annual Evaluations/Walk-thrus to monitor tenant damages.

Then visit all of those areas and walk the neighborhoods.

@Roy N. and Jeff Beard Thanks for your responses...you summarized the options well.While the property might be beautiful, if the numbers don't justify pursuit then the right thing to do is walk away.  

I did a walk through a few days before it was advertised through Facebook.

I will identify value add opportunities like walk-out basements, room conversion opportunities, etc. 

I’ll be walking all 4 units in a couple hours .

Even if you don't allow it you'll go over one day and a TV will be up there anyway lol.During the initial walk through of the house I tell them if they want a TV on the wall, let me know the size of the TV and where they want it.

If they aren't willing to negotiate on other things, then walk away.
