It make visualization much easier and seeing  success is so important.  

I am willing to go out of state...though I liked the thought of being a day's drive from a visual inspection.

I find that in any interaction with bankers, it helps me to visualize them as a robot that speaks a different language than me--numbers.

You can build a Small knee wall to conceal the side of the range and provide a visual termination point for the kitchen.

It’s also in a city I know very little about (Norfolk, VA) here are the numbers- I welcome your thoughts/ insights:$259k - sales Price (4- unit building fully occupied)$1460- total mortgage payment (after 25%) down $305- Property Management Feee (10%)$105- trash (total water is $315 p/m but seller bills water to tenants and has it written in the lease)$60 - lawn careTotal rents are $3050Owner says monthly expenses are low.The best case scenario is net income of $737 assuming $400 extra monthly expenses (for worse case scenario unexpected expenses which always come up) and assuming all the tenants pay their rent.Positives- - Seems to be a good cash flow if expenses are kept low and everybody pays- 4-plex is located in an 85% residential area- building is ok condition (built in late 70’s) except roof is 18 yrs old- all tenants are gainfully employedConcerns- while the neighborhood visually looked fine, according to crimemapping.com its a moderately high crime area.

@Chris Watson Thanks for the visuals - helpful. 

Disclaimer I am an architect out in WA state so I will call out the somewhat bias-ness of my post now.

If the EMF level is extremely high, it can actually make people have visual  and  auditory hallucinations.

Since it’s mostly visual.
