That's for every investor/homebuyer to analyze through their own respective lens.

If you're in Cleveland...not so much.So the market really matters if you're looking through the lens of appreciation.If we break it down simply on cashflow, then from the limited information provided, it's highly likely you're going to be bleeding money each month (especially if you're living in one of the units on an FHA).Side question: Can you actually use an FHA on two separate buildings even if they are on the same lot?

No money down via CHFA (CT FHA) 100% down loan with DAP (downpayment assistance plan)How did you add value to the deal?

I currently own an investment property and enjoy looking at properties from both an investor and resident lens.

The more you know ahead of time the more informed of an offer you can then submit.I approach every building from the same lens, i ask my self "Would i move into this building with Jen (my wife)? 

On the other hand, if it's only happening in one spot under a missing piece of gutter (for example), then it was probably just an ice lens that caused it.

Think this is the lens my realtor was coming from.

It's a very basic camera and you're really paying for the lens more than anything else.

I took photos with a wide angle lens that I borrowed from work. 

He is an investor himself and understands what concerns and issues to look for from an investors lens.
