While we're still under contract the environmental company wants us to pull up the boards so that they can inspect the concrete floor underneath.

I found out in order to complete, I need to fill in the void underneath the entry stairs so they can spray foam the foundation walls all the way around. that is the only place where cinder blocks are missing.

Lifting house and putting parking underneath is an option but assume that would be very costly.

Something like the below should include things like, current CAP rates, CAP rate forecast, landlord-tenant law favorability (degree of), income tax rate, sales tax rate, sale of property/excise tax rate, annual property tax rate, severe weather, soil types, insurance rates (or ability to insure), rental rates of a 1x1/2x2/3x2, population, population growth rate, rent growth, crime, schools, HH income, etc., etc., etc. 

There is a deck in the front and needs to remove it before doing the digging of the soil.

Here's the deal I'm curious about so if anyone can give me a quick thought on how they may approach this deal I'd be very appreciative:Duplex listed for 69.9kTenants are terrible and eviction would be a condition of saleRoof, gutters, and underneath the eaves (rotted wood)  all needs replaced which would also need to be a condition of saleARV: Probably somewhere in the 100k range....maybe 110k topsEach unit currently renting for $600/month but could rent for $750/month if given faceliftsHome is in an A++ location...just a block up and a half a block over from the second best park in town.

In regards to the roof, the section of roof is literally built underneath a deck for the upstairs unit.  

Zoning, soil, crime, schools, demographics, wetlands, and many other considerations matter as well.When I'm looking at properties I also look at value add potential.

I wouldn't walk down the street to look at this "deal"Fire is one of the hardest repairs, as far as getting an accurate estimate of what went on underneath.

If it's occupied, knock on the door.If it's unoccupied, tape a letter to the door (or slip one underneath or through the mail slot if equipped.As suggested above, talk to the neighbors.Ask at the post office what they know?
