I imagined that to mean that a 1920 home with no renovations would cost more to insure than one updated to 2024 specifications.Is this something that is just "known" to flippers/renovators and I am just coming across it?

Imagine having the majority of the section 8 tenants, with that steady and reliable income.  

I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them?

I cannot imagine that having 1 thermostat for 2 units would be possible especially once we move out and have tenants in both units. 3rd unit dilemma The 3rd unit is not finished.

I imagine people who've had 2nd or 3rd houses in hollywood hills are not interested in rebuilding or doing the work. 

Come to think of it, though, I can't imagine why they wouldn't let me perform one just to understand how much I can offer.  

Imagine building a 4,000-square-foot, three-story duplex with a 1,000-square-foot ADU.

Imagine you put down 3% on a $400k property. $12k.

I imagine cost of labor might be a little bit cheaper in Idaho compared to Connecticut as we ended up paying 10k for gas furnace and 5k for AC with 10 yr warranty for Lennox product.  

I do recommend on higher end properties adding TV channels and Spectrum has a live TV stream app (no more boxes, I also imagine other cable providers so as well).
