If the schools, streets, shopping and entertainment areas look like a C, attracting residents to pay the higher rates by upgrading the property to a A/B as you suggest (higher than the surrounding area) is typically not going to work out so well.  

My main question is what kind of market do you think you'll be attracting with a 4BR furnished rental?

It's extremely cheap for a duplex, and then combining that with just the look of it...my hunch is it's going to attract a very specific type of tenant, and one who could cost you a lot of money.

The property fell in my lap at a really attractive price and I thought I would be fool not to try and pursue it further by utilizing my network. 

We probably put too much into improving the properties but I prefer to have a safe house to rent and one that can attract a better tenant, and so far we're 2 for 2.  

There has been a time push out, the realitor was asighed to me, I made a bid 20,000 less than asking, my question is there is a Credit on the closing cost, I have not questioned it yet, I'm thinking it is the reality lady foisting the repair costs at the last minute on to the closing, in the contract I signed this is the sellers responsibilitie , I have to make a discussion, should I question the financial woman on who , why and how much the credit is.

I'm attracted to the scale-ability that they afford.

Own property next to a Dollar General Store and looking for a business/idea that would complement DG, attract their  client/customer base

To start - need to research deep and a lot of due diligence.High price will put you out of market, low price attract low quality tenants.

We are developing a Commercial project next door and this is excess land that isn't very attractive for other commercial tenants due to the layout.
