So,it appears that I will be getting possession of the self storage units I bought with a 4 unit apartment complex last January pretty soon.In looking at the units that are vacant, they are made out of block, but have a plywood ceiling. 

Three houses like that went up this year on the next block and 6 more are under construction one block north or south of the is property (same neighborhood).They won't be the first HML to lose my business. 

It is a huge 28-unit building and the first one on the block next to a CVS drug store.Accommodate your tenants wishes and love them for what (who) they are.

One stumbling block may be the higher leverage pushes your DTI too high.

There are a lot of separate structure properties/cottage s/ADU there and all within a few blocks of the intracoastal. 

Hard to avoid cast iron drain pipes, not a deal breaker for me.

It will be residential and I will probably rent it out in the next few years.We are at the point of requesting repairs before I finish purchasing and these are my request:replace sliding dooradd gutters to front garage and along rear patiorepair/replace fascia where missing or damagedhave licensed hvac service and clean systemreplace with proper material the corrugated drain pipes under the sinkrepair/replace windows where seals have failedreplace missing bolt in electrical panelhave license plumber correctly install p trap in laundry roomcorrect outlets with reversed polarityremove hot tubAND this is what they offered:$3.4k towards a contractor of my choice.

If you don't foresee any major stumbling blocks (or, if you do, and would like to discuss confidentially - we can certainly do that), I'd be happy to set up a showing for you.

Just south of 55th there is a small 3 block range of unincorporated buildings that are mostly in that designation with a few single family homes sprinkled.

He said this is no big deal and will evaporate on its on.I had him suck up the water with a vacuum and it amounted to .5 cup2) He said its possible that there is a blockage in the common drain pipe that connects the whole building (3 story condo, ours in the middle).
