I know Bear Creek Village and Houston rehab costs and It looks like a lot more work, especially with the brick repair in the back.

I see you're in Valley Village - if that's where your buildings are, I'd proceed with caution; Los Angeles is poised to implement some unfavorable regulations in the coming years, and beware of trying to STR with rent-controlled units.What you may look into is: AirBNB has what they call a "Friendly Buildings Program" where they've partnered with certain long-term landlords to allow their tenants to AirBNB their apartments in an above-board manner, and the landlord gets a cut.  

I have a 1960's 3BR/1BA near Old Village (cute, but not updated) that I am thinking of listing.

Don't spend more than $5 million per condo -- these aren't moving. 49 Chambers has an excellent deal right now -- 1800/ft in "East Tribeca"; East Village; Crown Heights; Bed-Stuy; Prospect Lefferts Gardens; area around Prospect Park; Fort Greene; Greenpoint; SOUTH BRONX!

I was able to pick up a typical Baltimore rowhome completely remodeled for $80k in edmonson village area of Bmore.

It so much money forget building one building.. this money can build village in Africa.

@Jeffrey Hotz Its the area around German Village.

The  neighborhood I am looking into  is  Washington Village/ Pigtown.

Also, let's be real about Columbus - there isn't much there - Ohio State is a MASSIVE anchor, there is virtually no downtown (even though it's also the State Capital..) ... areas like the Short North, German Village, Italian Village, etc. are INCREDIBLY incredibly small.

Watch out though there are a lot of legal 2 families BUT they have to be owner occupied and village is cracking down so if you try to rent all 2-3-4 and don't live there they will come after you potentially
