Hey Latricia,As with alot of neighborhoods on the southside there are pockets that are good and not so good even in the areas that you mentioned..I would say you need a realtor who is familiar with the south side or research the blocks of the properties you are interested in..But to answer your question specifically, woodlawn is nice from cottage groove going east to the lake..A lot of rehabbing and new development going on...Also south shore, Avalon park, bridgeport, pockets of chatham and gresham and Washington heights..Hope this was helpful..Let me know if you need any further assistance!..

I posted my situation in a general forum, but given that there are nuances in my decision specific to the SF market (and regulations) I thought I'd post here too: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/88/topics/451...The in-law cottage is an accessory unit, which I believe prevents a rent control situation, but expert thoughts welcome!

That would increase demand for housing in neighborhoods just outside of Mass ave like cottage homes, windsor park, springdale etc.  

@Mike Wood1 unit is 1BR = $775  the second unit is a second floor w/cottage set-up on third floor. larger unit obviously with 3 BRs.  

The property is zoned R5 with a main 3br house and in the back has 2 individual detached cottages, they are all the same address just "A, B, and C" units.  

If you eat cheese you are eating mold. 

Given these facts, most people can be forgiven for believing that the tectonic shifts set to transform the hospitality industry have already occurred in recent years and there is no more room for change.However, HomeAway and Airbnb’s development and growth merely set the stage for more momentous changes soon to come, including the transformation of the vacation rental industry from a $100B cottage industry to one that is more than double that size and dominated by massive, internationally scaled entities.

The first investment property my wife and I bought was a house with a rentable cottage that covered the mortgage.

Purchase price: $110,000 Cash invested: $20,000 We purchased this waterfront property to use as a family cottage and an STR.

My wife says that she rarely ever recommends light colors for exterior paint, but given that this is a cute little cottage type, a light cream or light yellow might be really nice.
