I'm gussing this house ws done in parts over time.Re the spalling, look closely at the foundation and make sure its not crumbling...Spalling sometimes is caused by too wet a mixture (failure to slump test), or not knowing how to spec it properly, resulting in a weak mix.Sometimes it will degrade down to the wire mesh or rebars.One area may be spalling and other areas A-OK.Just my 2 cent.

Dude, I have a weakness for humble polite and appreciative people... everything I am not.

I chose the house hacking strategy because it would give me the opportunity to learn hands on, would allow me the possibility of living in ny almost rent free and would be a good place to start seeing where my weak points are so I can build a team accordingly. my questions and concerns:Has anyone done a househack in NY, what sub market did you choose and why? 

My day job is a scientist so I'm always happy to take constructive criticism and I know there are strengths and weakness for any data or analysis.

one size does not fit all.Perfect example of that is right here In the Portland Metro area.. downtown urban core is very weak right now because of social issues. 

I don't have anything in the lease that forbids changing of the shower head, and the little pipe that was in the wall was essentially that really cheap weak metal substance. 2.

Purchase price: $415,000 Cash invested: $1,000 This project is not for the weak at heart!

One thing I've been disappointed in AirDNA about -the "revenue vs mortgage payment" feature to try and identify best cities is pretty weak.

With the weak commercial market conditions (I'm in the Seattle market, and of course some sub markets are doing better than others here) many need deals right now. 

If the offer is real, it may be very weak.
