Also have to wonder is\f the OP has been advised that the unit is so old and in such shape as to be unrepairable and needs to be replaced, and is sending in a line of repair persons until she finds one who is willing to try to repair it; but it hasn’t worked?

I originally planned to get a refinance loan on this house when rates were 3-4%, but the property was in such bad shape the banks kept rejecting my requests for loans once they saw the condition of the property, and I couldnt qualify for insurance at that time.

I also really like that this is a U-shaped window unit which wraps over the window sill, meaning that you get to keep nearly all of your window's view and natural light, as well as it being theoretically harder for someone to break into the apartment by kicking in/pulling out the AC unit (ours is on the second floor, but the safety concerns for first floor units is definitely a consideration you'll want to factor in).Heating.  

Quote from @Sushma Annaiah: As of now started looking at sfh and looking for cash flow .i will be taking mortgage and also planning to go with property management SFH + cash flow + property management will not compute in many areas right now, especially if you want something that is in great shape with no cap ex.

The shape of the property is just a little funny looking to me.

As real estate investors continue to seek out promising opportunities, the Louisiana Purchase stands as a timeless reminder of the profound impact that a single transaction can have on shaping the future of a nation and its economy.Have a happy, healthy and fun-filled Fourth of July!

In very, very bad shape.
