Com company but after people in Illinois area connected to me on linked in they blocked me. 

The building is concrete block and previous owners built on the side of it another "Wooden frame" store front which is "attached".Each unit is being rented out under market value, and decent condition.The property does not have a CO (calling town this week) but is in working condition and fully rented out. which is strange?

They might still avoid certain streets and blocks of course ...I try to avoid oil heat; just because oil prices are down now does not mean it will last.

Apparently the aluminum siding was considerably thicker and more damage resistant and the coating that provided the color and graining to the panels was more costly and had a longer lifespan.The FTC lost that case.

You do have a duty as a homeowner to protect from any additional damages.

It's near a high crime area but also there is a street that acts like a funnel one block away, forcing any foot traffic very close to it

(I'm sure someone will chime in with "you're asking for your home to be ruined" but I lived with 5 SDSU football players and not a thing went south).5) If students DID cause damage, security deposit will cover just about everything. 6) Usually, Financial aid or parents pay for rent, which means you don't have to be worried about not getting your monthly paycheck ;). 7) Lastly, I plan to fix it up in those 2-3 years that will attract the slightly more responsible tenant. 

I will say, though, that in over 20 years of lending he's never not been able to close on a loan he's preaproved; which if you're familiar with the 'colateral damage rate' that most lenders are alright with having, is absolutely f***ing mind blowing.It also doesn't hurt that he's just a genuinely cool guy to be around and learn from. 

Unfortunately, I have hit a small road block in my investing journey and am trying to be creative to keep my journey moving forward at a steady pace!

I've always been a bit tempted by them, but the blocks just scare me off.
