I.e. a property sold down the street with 1 extra bathroom and 250sf more.

From what I’ve read in the Wall Street Journal, locking in a low interest rate now could be a smart move given today’s economic trends.

I went actually on the street of the city I wanted to invest in and asked people just walking around about the city, what might rent, etc and found this method to be extremely beneficial I met some local real estate agents walking their dogs that gave me great recommendations and leads just because I asked them.The real estate agent son I met the other day has called my phone and is connecting me with a landlord that I really want to get into contact with for his building who already has tenants airbnbing at his location.I also found a Mentor (simply by asking around), which has offered to teach me all their ways, tips, tricks and so on as long as I help them stage, help them move items and so on.

I am looking at buying units in the downtown area. on the 200th block of 6th street.

Luckily, we were able to fix the problem by adding an additional clean-out closer to the street, at the front of the property, and clearing out the roots in the pipes.

There is still some streets that are meh.

I'm specifically interested in "main street" properties with a downstairs retail space, upstairs apartment(s).If you know of anyone with this sort of experience, I'd REALLY appreciate the connection.

buy on the wrong street and you'll lose money.hope this helps - have done some BRRRRs here and happy to help further. 

How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with?

I remember reading something in the Wall Street Journal the other day that buyers lean toward modern finishes with a nod toward sustainable materials.
