You also have many different styles of indoor units you can install from wall mount, recessed ceiling units, floor mount, ducted and others.

I currently work a 40+ hour/week job, but rehabbing is a life style choice, almost like a fun hobby that can be financially rewarding as well! 

I disagree, I think it would fit well with a craftsman style home.

Comps in the area are tough because this is a single family turned duplex, but I believe similar style and square footage houses are around $175k.I personally don't have the time to do a whole renovation, I was more hoping to have the GC get the apartment renovated right away and go from there.

Maybe I got a dud and should try a different branch.Also, the things I like are not in style.  

What I do has nothing to do with the life-style the tenants live.

I think it depends what kind of personality you are compared to the authors writing style.  

In the latter (West Van), I'd say you have nothing to worry about walking neighborhoods alone; in the former (that part of East Van), I'd suggest anyone (especially new to the area) would want a second pair of eyes to "watch their back".Same likely applies to lots of different areas of "Detroit"; some are bound to be great/safe/beautiful whilst others will be more "war zone" style - can't lump it all in to the same bucket :)As far as the airport itself though, can't imagine why it'd be a problem (I can't imagine any major US airport being a problem given how much law enforcement presence there is at all of them) - having flown there myself, it's plenty safe and fine with just the usual airport stuff to watch out for (folks who aren't authorized to provide taxi services trying to solicit in terminal for example or what not else).
