They were not terrible, some people would call them C minus, and it wasn't even that much about financial considerations at the time (appreciation was not a thing back then in Milwaukee) but just not what I wanted to own or manage, so I sold them to them tenants - after quite a bit of financial coaching to get them to qualify for a loan.My standard advice is always to buy the best quality property you can afford.

North park, normal heights, university heights.

Having said that, there are some pockets near the RTA off Superior and those that border Cleveland Heights can be ok but the rest of it, stay away. 

For rates to drop considerably something has to change in the economy.

Now the other consideration is your lender.

That would be a foundation issue to make sure the current foundation is able to hold two more floors on top and also a height issue for the town for the area.

Additional Considerations:• H1B Visa Constraints: As visa holders, our real estate investing strategy has to remain passive (e.g., hiring property managers).

I’m a couple hours north of Boston but there’s always tons of people looking to move so a longer vacancy or having to lower my rent prices is not even a consideration.

If that is one of the only contractors and the lien is considerable that’s another story - but not enough info to tell

Areas of consideration:- Rehab to Rental- Flip to Public Market- Wholesale (If the deal comes with major equity and ROI incentives)If you are interested in joining the team, please respond below or connect with me through Bigger Pockets.Best regards,Drew Hantla
