When I see issues that scare away first-time buyers (foundation, termites) - I typically see an opportunity for better returns - because less seasoned investors will get spooked and I'll have less competition when I'm buying.That being said Bruce has a point - do you want to buy a car with a recently repaired transmission or the untouched factory part? 

My only concern with this is that if I raise it too much, it'll spook my tenants and they'll look elsewhere given there are pretty competitive rates for other houses and apartments in the area. 

The $$ people can get spooked by attorneys, families and friends, so be prepapred for it.

They're good tenants, take care of the house, and want to stay where they are but they're likely to get spooked if I try to raise it too aggressively.  

I'm very spooked.

The "I don't want to be a landlord" reason could just be to prevent you from getting spooked and walking away. 

Funny I was looking at that one as well but didn’t end up getting it.Not sure how short term rental would do there but you could easily get 1000-1100/month per floor on that home once rehabbed.Hamtramck has a huge influx of refugees from Ukraine currently and I have people calling me looking for rentals in that are almost daily.If you decide to do longer term rentals, feel free to contact me, I’ll get you a renter right away, free of charge.

Hello everyone I am looking to invest in apartments in Ukraine with my father and was trying to network with anyone who has experience interesting in that country.

This is a very logical question given the fact that inflation is still very high despite rate hikes, stocks are plummeting, crypto currency is down, supply issues are still affecting the world as a whole, fuel prices are at all time highs, and the political climate across the globe is tense with the Russia / Ukraine conflict.

It’s in a great location, but there has been floods before farther down the street (it’s quite hilly) which have spooked people.
