In our market, a duplex like the first one my wife and I bought that’s a couple blocks to the beach, staged really well, great pictures, good marketing, pays all of the debt service, taxes, insurance, and our net on the property is 50-55k a year.

You are absolutely correct.Its block by block, on a micro level

If you have a damaged place any where but the edge of click down flooring it is a pain to replace and will cost substantially more.

Do you seriously think your traffic will believe you became a real estate investor to be the solution to their pain in the butt?

In my opinion, you are way out of position and any turn in the market can put you in a painful position. 

You walk 2-3 blocks and its pretty run down. these neighborhoods are street by street basis, you just need to understand the neighborhood or know someone who does. if you can find that you can find opportunities that you can take advantage of.

In Chicago, we have an ordinance called the RLTO and failure to comply with putting it an account, giving the tenant interest, and giving them notice of what bank, including address, is holding the security deposit can be extremely painful for the landlord. 

Make sure you check the streets and not just the ZIP 48224 as there is quite a number of blocks in this ZIP that are not great. 

The property we're closing on has a 400sqft studio with an existing murphy bed in a somewhat awkward location (open it mostly blocks the hallway to the bathroom).
