It has been harder and harder to find scenarios like that in this economic climate. 

I would value it as a duplex with "climate controlled storage" and go from there. 

That being said, do you think short term rentals are a good idea given the current climate, do you see things getting better or worse. 

The space is already climate controlled and has plumbing due to washer.

Right now, they tend of to be higher up there in age, and practically falling apart due to their construction materials and the climate we live in. 

To prevent lamb deaths, the road would have to be closed or restricted during the sheep’s birthing season from January to June, Caltrans officials reported.Caltrans chief of environmental planning, Aziz Elattar, had said that because the California Department of Fish and Game elevated the bighorn sheep’s status to fully protected, even one sheep’s life could not be lost as a result of the highway.One of the alternatives includes building underpasses for the bighorn sheep to safely cross under the highway, something Napolitano mentioned as a possible mitigation.Since Caltrans reneged on the project in 2011, many are skeptical about the state transportation agency’s refound proposal.BALDWIN PARKBaldwin Park announced they’ve received a $761,000 grant from the San Gabriel & Lower Los Angeles Rivers and Mountains Conservancy to build a new mini-park on Maine Ave.The Maine Avenue Mini-Park will join a series of new mini-parks along the soon-to-be-extended Big Dalton Wash Trail and the Susan Rubio Zocalo Park in Downtown Baldwin Park, which will come on-line over the next couple of years and promote public health, mental health, climate resilience and educational and employment opportunities for youth.

@Sattir Bitti Personally given this climate I'd do 65% LTV, buy another duplex, and re-evaluate from there.

MOST outside horizontal vented ones turn into a birds nest location,,,flap, 'rattle' in the wind and lose alot of heat from the house in cold climates. nothing else the bees and wasps will have nesting grounds,,,The ventless SEEM to work as good as a bad vented one

The shorter the loan term, the higher the interest rate may be.Market conditions: Interest rates for hard money loans can be influenced by market conditions, such as the supply and demand for capital and the overall economic climate.

The traditional site build method (building and assembling everything on site) seems ripe for innovation to reduce costs, especially in the current construction climate (construction is crazy expensive at present).
