Each unit has granite/quartz counter tops, solid wood cabinetry, coil-top stove, 30” wide refrigerator, radiator heating controlled by each unit, 12x12 ceramic tile in the basement units and hardwood floors in the upstairs units, U-shaped stairs at each side of the building for easy access to both floors.

A lot of older multi families that are good enough to rent in Baltimore are on radiator heat and even if they arent or you keep that to enhance rents and get better tenants installing washer dryers if its not done as well as kitchen or bathroom reno will run you out of money quick.  

I'm talking about substantial upgrades, for instance:  40 yr old radiators & old furnaces with window A/C units, compared to my new 90% efficiency furnace, new a/c compressor and all new ductwork. 

She is going to be okay... but we need to get her through chemo (starts Friday) and then radiation etc after that. 

The heat is natural gas with the old style hydronic radiators.

I have several units heated by standard tank water heaters running through baseboard radiators.

As you radiate out from the core it gets better.So if the area is $50,000 and down at retail, urban urban core in Kansas City Missouri - east of Troost, south of the River, west of I435 and north of I435 (its a loop around the city)  This is mostly ALL RENTAL not a lot of owner occupants, lots of boarded up houses and lots of vacant lots (except for a few areas that have seen revitalization)Retail area $50,000 to $100,000 it gets better:  Independence, Raytown, Grandview, Kansas City Missouri west of Troost, east of I435 or south of I435 - this is going to be bread and butter houses that we often see talked about here on BP, but there are going to be worse areas in this and better areas.Retail area $100k and up - is going to be less cash flow, higher rents, better tenants - this is going to be Johnson County, Eastern Jackson County, some areas of Grandview and some areas of Kansas City Missouri on the fringes.I can't speak to the north of the river, however, I but if you look at retail comps, it will be a good guideline.

The conctete floor becomes a radiator 

I've replaced gas valves, boiler and radiator valves at material cost and a few hours of my time.

We  shut off the water to the building, leave all faucets open ( water will drain, but lines are not blown out), electricity off to hot water heater, oil filled electric radiators set to the * setting, in front of open cabinets to heat under the sinks.
