In Wilkes-Barre there are lots of side by side duplexes (double blocks) that are separately titled.

Often 3 blocks can make 2~3 times difference in the price. 

Basically, it was a 1980s block shell with a 2024 home inside, when we were finished.

Managing properties remotely is definitely possible, but it’s a lot smoother when you have good contacts for maintenance, property management, and leasing.Another challenge I've faced is that Detroit is very block-by-block—you have to really understand the neighborhoods.

This STR would also be a place for us to block dates off for ourselves between work contracts (if we want to), which adds a slightly more personal investment in this one. 

Blocks away from Seton University, one with 11 bedrooms and 4 baths and the other with 14 bedrooms and 4 baths.Both show signs of deferred maintenance but one more so than the other. 

I do like now though on our sig blocks we can put our website and then link to our projects but you know those could be fake to I could be faking all my projects.. :)

Go to the food pantry and pick up blocks of cheese.  

@Ryan Rubel There are certainly quite a few restrictions in those two areas, in Carlsbad you have to be within the coastal Zone...I have a multifamily in Carlsbad Village a block outside of the coastal zone so I'm unable to operate it as an STR unfortunately.

Lots and lots of research.Price points also help, block quality, etc.
