Whats the cost of his transportation?

Look at the properties, the vehicles, the public transportation, the yards, the businesses etc.  

that kind of leverage in Jackson MS depending on the area is as you state way over leveraged to the point of no equity even in good markets that is basically no equity.not sure how you wrangled that high of LTV loans.anyway.. even if you pay the cars off you do need transportation correct.. ? 

If we want to spur development in places like this, transportation access is number one.

@Nick MichaelsWould you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Pittsburgh is well-positioned to be where much of the autonomous transportation, building, and self-replicating robotic technology of the 21st and 22nd centuries will be developed."?

Need something more powerful than all that.But, if you really want to get riled up and keep your mind stinky, think about how our global transportation and trade systems are poised to spread an uncontrollable epidemic!!!

Every piece of asbestos has to be double-bagged, tagged and transported by special vehicles to special waste sites.

But things you should consider are proximity to transportation, do you want a move in ready or fixer upper (big difference in prices), do you need to get pre approved, does property have attic or basement you can convert, does house have user friendly layout, can you change layout for maximum use of space, how is parking on and off the street etc. 

I'm not sure how transport may twist or rack a wall, but I'm sure they are produced with better QC than a guy with a skill saw on a job site.
