There is a Streamline K $35k and under / no structural changes and a full 203k - anything above $35k that is more encompassing. 

How, charming...Here is the dining nook.

(If it had been an arbor or trellis you were walking under, instead of a power pole, it would have been charming, LOL!) 

Rental demand is high here due to the proximity to the beach (just two blocks from the ocean), large university close by, the shopping and dining within walking distance, and the history and charm of the area.  

Consequently, I can't do it over a giant metro area encompassing 12 suburbs so my method has limited applicability.

I would recommend Encompass Realty with Elisha Alcantara

I don't mind older homes, actually I prefer them because they have a certain character and charm that newer ones don't have. 

I am much more charming and coherent behind my keyboard than I am in person.6.  

The dryer works like a charm, the washer....unless I can fix it, RIP.I am thinking of keeping the coin op dryer for my tenants and buying separate ones for myself (electric is wired for different units, I pay for all water).I'm unsure if I want to go with a coin-op washer, or even coin-op in general.  

You typically get a or b class tenant who want to live in a charming neighborhood.
