"Best house on the block, for the least rent" is my mantra. 

We just bought a fourplex half a block from the university.

Terre Haute is very block by block though, but I'm sure that is true for most areas.

To try to attach it to the next sale or block the next sales will not be cost-effective and since you just gave him $3,000 and it was not earnest money as that does not go to the seller, it is held for deposit until sale, I don't know how you would even prove your end of it.

We just heard that the city just approved a 350 unit apartment building about 2 blocks away.

This is a lot of disposable capital that people will want to spend.The EU is/will block American tourists due to COVID-19.

Expanding on what @Corey Hawkinson is saying, Mpls & StP investing is more a block by block kind of thing, and every active investor you talk to in these areas will have a different "honey hole" of what blocks are best, which are not so much, and it changes every year.

We can't even go upstairs to see the apartment above retail space because access was blocked off decades ago.

Baltimore is a block by block city so if you have a chance drive around.

The property has cement blocks as part of the foundation.
