Apologies if this has already been discussed, but just looking to get some different view points on this.For multi-family rental investment properties, would you rather buy something that's already occupied or something that's vacant?

There are a whole bunch of reasons to believe that we are heading for a worsening recession (or the start of a recession - usage of the word "recession" to describe the current climate depends on your political affiliation here in 2022 - I welcome all viewpoints on this!) 

I appreciate your viewpoint and honesty!

Most contractors want to do work and lots of it so you can’t always use their viewpoint.

Just ways to minimize risk and improve the chances for ROI.For example, for every 10 people saying "no way" to Detroit, there are probably another four or five making money from select neighborhoods in Detroit.Don't fall into the trap of connecting with people that share your same viewpoint --like the listeners of Fox News and MSNBC News.Read, listen and familiarize yourself with all sides of an issue and then make your best educated guess.

And can be done with FHA 203k loan.All this comes down to what makes sense from a down payment and financing viewpoint.
