Here is a new bit of information that I just learned, one of my friends that owns a business on the same street just notified me of a retail plaza with seven shops, sold last year on the Auction block for 240K.What kind of an affect will this have on the value of the property I am looking at.

My guess is the gutters haven't been cleaned and it's an old block basement.

There are some nice B neighborhoods here behind the views, deteriorating as you move east about 10 blocks from the bluff to the Broadway corridor (“99” on the map) to some C’s that I wouldn’t walk through at night.

-The foundation has deteriorated at the front right corner of the house, the parging has come loose along the right side of the house, the foundation walls are bowed in on both sides of the house, and the mortar has deteriorated between the blocks and bricks of the foundation in several areas.

They are renovating at least 10 homes on this block which makes me think that this is a gold mine.

When I put my L shaped couch back in the corner it is now blocking the opening. 

It is two blocks from Drake university on Rutland, would make a great 8 room share for Drake students. 

That basically block all the view and maybe not privacy for tenant.

If they are all on the same block, that doesn't count, of course.It's all about what you like to invest in. 

Murray Hill for example seems to have blocks where there are nice homes only then blocks where there are only less desirable homes.
