I was in the Back of the Yards with an investor securing a cash deal late last night. 

Turns out EVERYTHING needed to be replaced, minus some floor tile that could potentially be salvaged...48 hours before our option period was up I called our contractor to see where the numbers were at.

Btw, house is zoned SFh and has 2 separate driveways on two different roads with a huge yard space all around.

Fenced back yard- Tenants love security.Garage.-  $6ooo-$10,000 investment that attracts men and nice wheels!

It all happened within a month and I purchased a 4 bed 3 bath house with a big yard in a good neighborhood for $177,000.

He stated that the reason was the Black Lives Matter sign in our yard.

Charlotte is my "back yard" and always great to see other folks from the Queen City active on Bigger Pockets.

Residential properties that are located in an industrial area, say next door to a salvage yard with rail road tracks behind the property will be affected by external obsolesence and comparable properties will be a problem.

This is a 9 unit property in El Paso, TX on 0.84 acres with 5 single family homes and 2 duplexes, most have nice fenced yards and garages.

Don't try to run a marathon if you can't run a mile or a hundred yards.
