I've been seeking properties in Crown Heights, Bed-Stuy, and Bushwick. 

Thanks @Gerald Smith, Ive been offred a house on Hafforn Ln... 3 beds 1ba ...what do you think?

Here are some numbers:3 bed 3 bath 1300sf with big finished basement that will add another 1200 of so sfPurchase Price: $109,900Rehab Estimate: $48kAcquisition/Holding Cost Estimate: $11,000ARV: $225-250kI just closed on this one late last week and am hoping to be done in about 3 months. 

No longer living in the property as your primary residence is considered a payoff event (like death of the borrower).

I am interested in a 3 bed/1 bath 2139 sq ft all brick ranch property in the Millersville 46205 area in Indianapolis, it is an REO with an asking price of $52k.  

It's a 2 bed 1 bath home built in 1952.

The latest is a problem with a "smell of death" from another apartment.  

It's a 2 bed, 2 bath in Los Angeles and I've been looking on Westside rentals to get an idea.

Maybe it doesn't happen, maybe slumlords hold the neighborhood back, but if Bushwick & Bed Stuy NY and Skid row/The Mission in SF turned hot, I think west end could pull it off at 1/10 the scale ie most renovated houses being worth close to 100k in the next 2/3 years and rents at or above 1k a month, conservatively.
