Also, I'm wondering if people have thoughts about the benefit of owning the units as a block from a wholesaling perspective, or from a buy and hold position, etc.

If the nicer houses on a block are selling for $50k in a war zone, why would you buy the lot and build a $100k house on it?

I actually had my plumber come out on Christmas morning to clear a blocked sewer line and not charge any after hour fees since he's done so much work for me in the past.

I own property on 6000 block of may in Englewood, and a bunch around Escanaba in South Chicago.

We've been able to re-post everyday still by throwing code in our ad (even though they block it).

We could jump online and look up some values but much of that is block-by-block.

The current placement seems weird because it would block access to the basement.

The span on the joists might be too far and you need extra blocks in between.I have a ton of experience with toilets but it's overrated!

If I could go back to when I was 23 and bought my first house, I would not buy a house, but rather buy a multiunit.Cash is important, but it's certainly not a stumbling block.

Interesting side notes-1) the two current tenants are longterm 4+ years, but are also not clean and tidy at all.2) there are several very nice houses in this neighborhood, but the one next door is condemned (in tax default), and a house a couple blocks over has been destroyed completely by fire.3) Comps of SF and MF homes are all over the place in the area and it's pretty much impossible to get comps on this type of unit even going back 2 years.Any suggestions on how I should factor the current tenants, neighborhood, comps or empty unit potential???
