Link here, if it helps.As far as the location and declining population, that is for the City as a whole and there are certain areas of the City that don't have the same general decline.

I have located the same type of aluminum siding but they want $1,000/box shipped.

Given the location and how the town has been developing it seems like a good investment opportunity for rentals.

I’ve got multiple properties in several areas all of which are still fairly local which means if something happens in one community I’ve got locations elsewhere to help compensate.

But at a $1.5M asking price, as long as you don't have to spend more than $300k in rehab (without raising rents), this is a slam dunk deal that should easily be financed  at 75% LTV by a "investment real estate-friendly" bank/credit union that is located fairly close to the properties.

I have a duplex in a premium location.

I put my location as New York since that is where I will be moving after college for work.

Converting properties to multi-family is considered extensive rehab and those programs are a little more exclusive than the standard bridge loan programs. 

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

Benton St property due to its desirable location and the opportunity to significantly increase value with strategic renovations.
