There is another similar unit in the building listed for $134 less and it appears to have a patio and the pics are of a furnished unit which helps hide its size.There are other units available in the same zip code, many of which I think look nicer based on pics alone, that are less expensive.I don't know your specific area, but the loud chatter is that demand and prices in SF are falling.

I can scan in receipts, use the app for mileage at the time of my trip, setup portfolios, and link bank accounts so it will automatically import transactions.

(these type structures also burn like match-head in an instant too)If there are large baseboards with the plugs in them sideways they may pop off and allow access to the upright space in an easy manner.So you might not need to disturb the plaster if the electricians are clever about it.All of your your runs might not be the shortest from A to B but they can figure that into cable sizes.Although in an old house you might find the exterior wall spaces filled with, ground newspaper or some other 1970's (or later) insulation effort.Another factor is a large re-wire might trigger an up to current code setup regarding plug types, placement and number, breaker types, etc...If there are firebreaks (horizontal 2 x 4's) inside the walls, you might have to open the plaster (unless there is an electricians trick I don't know about).Pic 1 and pic 2 shows antique method of construction with some 2x4's open from basement to eave.Pic 3 show's a more modern technique with a floor between the levels.Pic 4 shows the hidden space behind an old tall baseboard (in some houses) that can make fishing easier.Which do you have--it was up to the original builder.Good Luck!

I scanned through replies but didn't see this one yet.

Could you please scan me over a copy of your business card so that I can save your contact information. 

Below is a pic for reference and if you're just starting out you should punt on these.Going back to the original question, if you do have issues with an older brick building, a lot of times running the steel I-beam across the basement in place of the old wooden one which has bent over time, gets the job done to minimize sagging on the first floor and sound-up the foundation. 

A few facts:-property is listed at retail but I believe seller will contribute to closing costs and accept at least 5% off market price (only way I'd do the deal)-current rent is below market and will need to be increased 15-20%-tenants are making showings "as miserable as possible" so I'm thinking they know what's coming their way-currently month-to-monthThe pics of the property don't show any obvious signs of damage or abuse but I'm not sure I'm willing to risk this happening once I become owner. 

Nothing our Vet of 20 years has ever done.We were away all day so we were concerned that she would be caged all day after treatment (as she was a 9yr old caged puppy mill rescue dog) but we got this pic from her & that's her office chair....great tenants, NEW Vet.

Scanning last 1-2 months of sales there's not much crazy bidding compared to North Austin with the exception of few homes.

I listen to a lot of BP podcasts and there seem to be endless stories of people buying up cast-off properties during the crash... or by scanning obituaries or putting up bandit signs.
