Target market is Davenport, IA and the surrounding area in Iowa due to my family being there and the businesses/colleges in the area.

So when I saw her listed address in Miami, I was confused as to why an area code for the Twin Cities was the number for the rental manager for her apartment. 

So I’ve since blocked off the third floor on one side and rented it as a 1 BR for now. but when the other side leaves eventually I’m starting to lean towards raising the ground grade 28” so that the total drop is less than 20’and then I’ll knock down some walls and make the whole 3rd floor attached only to that last unit so that the whole area can use the stairs and that window as second egress. 

Also in your area that is a little rural if its well and septic makes sure those are checked by professionalsif it has city sewer make sure you do a sewer scope on the line running to the street.. and of course make sure roof is good etc etc.and for sure you can offer what you want to pay.. they may not accept it but its up to you.also ask title company to give you current owner.. and if you want simply make a back up offer in cases the wholesaler cant close this happens a lot and you get a better deal. 

I now have three tenants and I lease part of one of the properties back to my business as a storage yard (so 4 streams of income).
