If you are only finding dated houses you can assume your house might command a slight premium, but honestly I rarely assume that.

My biggest fear is hack-a-bility, which I plan to do some research on.A few things that I like about the Schlage:1:  there is a command to erase all codes. 

A summary of the opportunity is below.2 4bed/3bath SFH offered together for $1.75M.Comps show implied value of $2.4M-$2.5MVery desirable neighborhood of OaklandSeller has offered to finance a portion of the total purchaseBoth homes are completely vacant and recently remodeled (so we can command market rent for all units)Since my business partner and I have recently started investing, we do not have significant reserves to put down $300k+ in a traditional loan package.

Unless Jackson schools, it's not going to command 625 without a high vacancy rate.

What about this unit commands the price?

@Kyler Lee:Pros:A-class property should command top rentsVery low CapEx and maintenance, at least in the beginning.Building right can lower operating costs.Cons:Nearly impossible to make the numbers work due to the high cost of land and laborTons of red tape with P&ZNeed to work with a very experienced GC, which eats profitsUtility hook-ups can make the costs prohibitive for a rentalDifficulty getting financing if you (or a partner) doesn't have direct, relevant experienceNo cash flow for the entire construction period requires larger up-front reservesThere's a reason only really see SFH or large MFR being built in most places.

The hipster crowd likes the exposed brick/industrial style and will command a premium over the cookie cutter units. 

@Teho Kim currently stationed in Sasebo - there are absolutely people who have purchased - they normally live in these properties for 10-15 years and find a way to stay on ships/@commands in the Sasebo area though. 

I've been led to believe that allowing pets commands higher rent.
