It is commercial and retail not housing but similar concepts can be applied. http://macarthurannex.com/Look into the Fair Housing Act and any local laws depending on the size you will probably need an elevator and accessible units if it is over a certain size and multi story.Good luck and let me know if I can be of assistance.

No tying up the elevator to haul  badly made furniture either in or out.  

Where the freeway is elevated I can actually look into the buildings and see absolutely no tenants.

If it is a cheaper manufactured home, then you may need to add improvements and amenities for your guests (elevated interior design, landscaping and exterior design, smart technology, guest hospitality services...)

Check the floor for elevated homes, look for wood rot 8.

I have been tasked with assisting in several cases of elevated lead blood level findings, specifically dealing with the Ohio Dept of Health and handling abatement of the properties before they are hauled into court and condemned.

What I mean is prices have not come down below (or even near) the elevated levels seen in 2008 (prices rose like crazy from 2006-08).

He said "Remove & dispose of the existing roof" For him being the professional he should have been a little more clear, I would have said something like replace front slope and put in parenthesis "this does not include entire roof, just front slope/elevation, or main section of home".

In my earlier response, I did not intend to imply there is any reason to eschew stacked duplexes, triplexes - we have a couple and, as @Matt Geerts points out, no stairs on the ground level provides the opportunity to create an accessible unit for those in wheelchairs or other mobility issues {Matt, might consider this ... designing with wider hallways and doorways (36/38") and a more open bathroom layout (perhaps with walk/roll-in shower) is simple when building new or doing a major renovation.} and makes your unit appealing to new categories of tenants (those with disability and aging Boomers are but two).That said, when looking at an older residential building {i.e. without an elevator}, my preference is still for side-by-side units over stacked.

With elevated home prices, and interest rates positive cash flow is hard to come by BUT not impossible.
