The tenants will be much harder on the building and they will do incredibly stupid stuff that will make you scratch your head .they will be like oversized children .if you understand the desperation and difficulty of thevarea and the people then you will succeed ,if you go in with a set strict criteria and try to be tommy toughnuts to the tenants then your going to have very high vacancy ( leaving in the middle of night) nd repair costs ( like pouring cement down the drains ) and you won’t see the good income everyone talks about . 

We see the occasional block foundation but I don't think I've ever seen an entire home made from cement block.I know one "feature" of block foundations around here is that building codes won't allow a 2nd story to be added to a single story with a block foundation.That could have something to do with what I see here as it's pretty hard to find a ranch. 

@Joel Owens hi Joel thank you for your feed back I’m looking to invest in my city Montreal Canada I am already on residential unit I would like to go into triple aaa commercial clients such as banks doctors gouvernement dentist where they lease long term rental and that banks love them where enconomics crisses don’t affect them I would like to target them

Property Issues known, light external paint, cement front porch repair, going to be some interior work.

Let me know if you would like to set up a call with him to discuss his experience with them.Here is a link to an interview I had with my father.How Real Estate Investing Made Financial Freedom Possible for a Dentist?

If the plan is to use leveling cement, and it needed a substantial amount of it, the added weight might cause it to get worse quickly without additional support.If you're good with renting it slightly below the average in your market and most of the rental homes are a similar vintage, I wouldn't mess with it.

-Usually need more square-footage to repair- U&O is always going to be up your case and will wack you with even the smallest chip in the sidewalk, telling you that you need to drop 5-7k just in cement before you even get approved to touch your home. - Comping is not as cookie cutter as it is in the city, now you are usually dealing with different styles, build types, etc.Always feel free to reach out to me!

It also backed onto a huge stone crushing/cement plant so fine dust, 5am diesel truck start-up noise etc was common BUT the 'buyers' loved it.

I have done some more digging into the issue and discovered an old drain of some kind underneath a big cement patch under the carpet.
