They are on the hunt for money now when in the down turn they were keeping taxes flat because if they raised backed then almost everyone appealed because they were hurting with the economy.Some of my clients have some ongoing appeals right now and the properties are in the tens of millions so the taxes are substantial.       

This is for three 4-family units (flats with 2bd 1ba each) in a C- area.

I expect Marina Bay is going to have great appreciation.Even the flats of Richmond have great pockets here and there where new home buyers have moved in and changed the feel of the neighborhood.

My current plan for my first investment is to find a great deal on a two or three flat, then purchase it with a FHA or 203K loan for the smaller down payment and live in one of the units.

barring this they will stay flat

We only had to do inside rehab, plumbing, electrical, countertops, flooring and paint and replace the roof on one building and repair the TPO on the flat roof on the apartment building.
