A triple decker that was gutted 20 years ago is going to have a lot fewer issues than one that has a lot of original systems still intact.

If you were to heavily insulate the inside wall of an old double/triple wythe brick building the external wythe may no longer dry out thoroughly and be subject to excessive freeze - thaw damage.The best way to insulate old brick buildings is from the outside - which has the added advantage of turning all that brick into a thermal mass in the conditioned space ... alas, most owners of old brick buildings are unwilling or unable (due to historic designations) to insulate over the external brick.There are some informative studies and papers by John Lstiburek and the folks at Building Sciences Corporation about dealing with old brick buildings.

I have more than tripled my portfolio this year, by going after larger deals and learning how to partner with likeminded investors. 

The additional $1,000 in fixed costs and potential for a tripling in my property taxes could drop the ROI to under 5% but there is still a lot of upside in rents to keep this a good deal.

Grew up in Salt Lake City...it's tripled in size since I moved away 20 years ago... 

Velocity more than double and touching on TRIPLE, avg. days on market less than 45 days AND REMEMBER days on market INCLUDES time awaiting closing so realistically that says avg. days on market to sell is 7-14 DAYS!

It's worth the 25%, unless you live nearby and really want to handle that kind of stuff.Related to the bullet above: However much you think you will spend on capital expenses or repairs, triple it.

My taste buds have only known the flavor of Top Ramen and my wallet is full of triple coupons.

Chicago has triple their employment base.

:@David FaulknerWhen a correction hits, nobody is spared... it is just a matter of be on different waves...Listings in the cities that I have been watching like Sunnyvale, Los Gatos have all more than tripled compared to last year...
