@Fas McO'nen  nice post.you will though continue to get yellow letters as this is the major playground for wholesalers in almost all rental areas.Burnt out landlord is their favorite target.. unfortunately Morris's representation of the neighborhoods and asset class in my mind is pure fantasy.. some of these will work of course.. but 50% of them over the next 3 to 5 years will become wholesaler bait yet again.there is a term or two terms in real estate one is  functionally obsolete and the other is economically  obsolete..these areas Morris targets are both.. but from Morris side of the table there is never ending inventory ( landlord burn out Wholesaler feeding them) big margins 15 to 30k.. on small dollar value properties that people pay cash for.

Best bet is to get your GC to quote the job before offering, and never rely on calculating your rehab cost purely on size or level of distress/sqft.If you need some recommendations on contractors here - send me a message.

I house hacked a property in Guttenberg, and this was the case.If this is purely an investment property, then you are unable to mark to market the rent, unless you do a significant amount of renovations.
