The cousins are pretty unresponsive with the owner that I'm in contact with, and he wants to get clarity about how much control he actually has over the estate to sell it. 

Purchased from another investor who didn't have time to deal with the narrow margin and keeping tight control of costs to make it work.

The poor area doesn't look like it will be revived anytime soon, West Hartford showed a lot of appreciation except the property taxes are out of control.  

I would print out a map of the areas, mark the areas where traffic was high, find someone young in the neighborhood who has a car and wants to make some extra cash and send them out on Friday night or Saturday morning. 

Any thoughts on weather I should try to get control of the property right now or just bank on no one buying it sight on scene for that much money? 

Tesla charging outlet in garage, USB outlets throughout entire main floor, every bedroom and bathroom. 2 Zone Hot/Cool Central controlled via 2 nest thremostats.

PRO he is a 1-stop shop and has complete control over the entire process.

I don't personally like my assets to be under the control of an HOA. 

That's actually a great opportunity to add an air/water/vapor control layer, too.One option for the heating would be to add mini-splits to each apartment.

Got so tired of it and now focusing on building my empire to take control.
