And the apartment is an upper that's definitely tough to move into, so the furniture transfer does have some benefits (saves a lot of banging around/removing of doors from hinges/etc.).

Buying a C-class fixer-upper will give you some short term relief on property taxes.

I would also rather have upper cabinets than floating shelves, except for maybe in a compact unit with very outdated cabinets. 

Here in Upstate NY (Watertown)Looking for an REI Group or something close, whether it be virtual or in person (due to COVID)I do consistent deal analyses, trying to network with others on ideas on how to go about with these fixer uppers and potential Buy&Hold properties I’ve found already

I make much more money buying the fixer upper (abandoned, condemned, unwanted) properties for a song and paying cash.

@Frank Patalano My hesitation was using all the money I saved up to buy a fixer upper to rent out.

It’s an upper/lower duplex that me and my fiancé live in while renting out the upper unit.

Anyways, that's my situation - its unique at least among people I socialize/work with (middle class/upper middle class Americans or well-off immigrants)

A handy search bar in the upper right makes it easy to find previous discussions, blogs, podcasts, and other resources.
