The fire damage one is a 20 unit in Detroit selling for 25k in a C class neighborhood.

I'd be looking at $10k to replace all the windows and patio doors, or nearly $15k if I keep the arch design.The other alternative is of course to simply not replacing the windows, unfortunately one of the main selling points of the house are the views and the ugly aluminum windows get in the way of that.The property itself is one of the largest in the neighborhood(3500 sqft), the closest comp is considerably smaller(2800 sqft) and not freshly renovated sold for nearly $1m last year.

The house i saw yesterday is in a great neighborhood, looks great, 1979 house, 4 bdr 2bath and 1/2. 0.3 acres lot.

The last time we let you take a ride on this Ninja race bike you immediately tried to do a wheelie in the neighborhood, pulled back the throttle and crashed!  

true they are valued by the revenue, however they are also valued by the neighborhood in which they are in.

Best looking house in the neighborhood as far as I'm concerned. 

Is it an A or B neighborhood?

On the other hand there are plenty of opportunities  in great neighborhoods in the city an surrounding suburbs.

I am now under contract to purchase a triplex using my VA loan with a tehab component, where will will live in a great home in one of the most desirable neighborhoods around, while renting out the two units in back. 

@Jo Zhou Find and reach out to veteran organizations, I'm sure you can find someone to help out in those organizations.
