From my comfy armchair, I can see how today’s situation in Kiev - far enough removed from the war areas, and being the economic and cultural center - could be attractive to those who know their way around the local bureaucracy to not have to pay an “overhead” under the table at every turn.I can see how the deeply devalued Ukrainian currency can make the purchase potentially even more attractive.

After that we have mainly leveraged ourselves.

They are in a small city but on the far edge of the main part of the city.

This should include the main beams, posts, and floor joists.

Mainly because of the higher turnover, higher vacancy, more hands-on property managing experience you typically hear about.

As you take over that 6-unit, and frankly with any property you acquire, always be looking at how you can improve the value of the business.  2 main ways to add value.
