@Isadore Nelson I'm currently seeing 154 available rentals on Zillow in the 19119 zip-code, ugh... is exactly the wrong way to analyze a neighborhood, lets use the 19119 zip code for this exercise: Did you know the 19119 zip code is ~ 3.5 Square miles?

When the Cascadia Subduction Zone goes off all bets for WA, Oregon and Northern CA are off.  

I really like Old Brooklyn, Shaker square, and Euclid.

Square Space is super easy and intuitive. 

When renovating a walk-out single-family home to create a separate legal unit in the basement, removing the interior stairs can increase usable square footage and enhance security between the two units.

I am from WA.

The square footage however is not that big but enough for the tenants to spread out.  

I use PropertyShark to find the lot size, previous/ current owners, square footage, sale history, ect...
