The house in question is located in West Milford, NJ and is a 1963 3 bed 2 bath split level on a pretty level .25 acre lot right outside of town center with natural gas but septic, well, etc.

Example - sold a retail/ service center for $1,750,000 with a $1,300,000 note I carried back at 10% interest.

If you put a donut over the city of Philadelphia with the center of the donut around the Center City area and nearby (essentially the hole), and the rest of the donut was basically everything else around it, you would find this trend:In the "Hole" of the donut:1.

Every so often one of the older homes in the old city center will come up, and those are always worth a look, but it is pretty rare.Celina also very nice place to live, but probably tougher for investors. 

The very coolest spot is centered around 35th/34th next to the river.Also look into the bench area between Vista and Latah (crossroad Rose Hill-ish).

In addition to store closures, LL Flooring is liquidating a large distribution center in Virginia.

It’s not a profit center for them and they have a reputation to maintain.

Traditional financial planners make the bulk of their income from commissions on stocks and bonds, so real estate will often times get dumped into an "other" category that doesn't get the proper attention.In my experience, we did receive a lot of help from real estate agents that are able to help us with our upcoming transaction, HOWEVER, they aren't setup to support the overall plan design in a way that was centered around the most important financial kpis.  

I run a Real Estate Call center.

Back in the day we carried a balance of $100,000+ that was owed to us and that is now down to only $10,000 or so and we only cover out of pocket if it's an emergency.The PM must have sufficient reserves to do the necessary maintenance work and shouldn't be chasing landlords for money.Just my opinion...Also, a PM's number 1 profit center is maintenance up charge.Landlords don't have much insight and PM's nickel and dime to death on those.If you are suspicious, ask for a receipt so they aren't making up non existent maintenance.Let them make their money tho and calculate that into your expense pro-forma.Otherwise, manage yourself and deal with the $#%^@ that comes with it lol.Multifamily in Ohio, you can get for $25,000 - $35,000 a unit.Drop another $5,000 - $10,000 into the turns and rents should be North of $800pm.Decent area's also.Personally, I wouldn't get out of bed unless I'm making the above numbers.Wishing you much success
