The traffic is horrible to say the least.  

looks like a horrible drywall job.  

I gave the option for all tenants to pay $15 extra a month for use of the machines(costs about half as much as a laundromat in the area) and 3 out of 5 of my units opted to pay the fee via a lease addendum.The problem I'm running into is that the storage room is not being kept locked, and one of the tenants(for good reason) is complaining that the door is either being left unlocked or propped open.Now, I've looked into coin operated machines, and they cost about 3x what the standard machines cost, and they have HORRIBLE reviews for the low end models.

for about 5 years now, but eventually they will be right, and if rates jump to 7.5% during that six month period, you will in the end be stuck with the "horrible" 4.75% or 5% interest rate (that is still better than anything your future neighbors will get...).Exactly at the six month mark, you will get bombarded with junk mail from VA IRRRL sweatshops.

now granted some investors have been abused horribly by purchasing in the very worst areas of Memphis and all the other turn key markets.. but really that's the investors fault.. they lack the knowledge and time to fully study and understand the market and the socio demographics they just look at return numbers and pick the highest on paper.

Aside from that 203K is not a horrible option for a primary residence (not an investment)...the one thing to remember is that the renovation costs are tacked onto the loan...so if your loan is $100k with $30k in rehab, your final note payment is on a $130k loan.
