UPDATE:I scheduled and performed an entry to evaluate the various repairs inside the property.

Too many people are looking for a magic solution for entry into real estate investing.

It might be the point of entry. 

@Nicholaus McNeal I love the low barrier to entry, the cash flow, and the potential growth opportunity.

Its unique because it already has 2 entry doors and 2 yards separated... with a conversion of the garage to a 1BR apartment it could easily be turned in to 1400-1500sf duplex with a 2/1 and a 1/1.

The city has tagged both units as uninhabitable, but allows entry to retrieve belongings (it has heavy damage but is not in danger of falling down).To add to the saga, their credit is far worse than it was when we placed them in our unit due to the husband having chronic back issues that have prevented him from doing his job full time. 

Remind her that you have provided security measures like cameras and a secure entry but it is the tenant's responsibility to ensure that the entry is secure and that police are notified of criminal issues.3. 

It has 5 rooms; 2 of the rooms are in the mother in law guest suite with its own private entry.

Buffalo is one of the lower barrier to entry investment markets. 

This is an entry level property and not much else under this price point that is available.
