The residents of the neighborhood know if the MHP is a trouble spot or just older.Good luck.

Despite that, many people with the off-street parking choose to park on the street first (it is free public parking after all), and thus those without off-street parking have a tough time getting a parking spot.

Sweet spot is 50k-100k all-in.

I'm still a little frightened of Nicetown, but perhaps @Mary B. found a sweet spot nearer to Temple.

You don't have a cash box, a safe, a hiding spot in your home, a locked drawer, no place you could put them for safekeeping?

If you have the tenant replace the filter (you provide the filter) you would still have someone in the area that might spot problems (HW heater, busted window, dripping pipe, etc.)

Since you bring up Star Trek, then let me add that I really look forward to the day we have a teleport device to beam us from one spot to another.So as landlords all we need is to build a corridor or with say 10 doors.

Barring that, I think Bill Gulley is pretty much spot on...

Again I think walking distance for students would be key in this area.The final spot that I've seen units going for under 100k is in Bowe Apartments.

I have had a few properties (in lending) with the in-law quarters, usually a nice add as they are in demand.I'd say, now that I think of it, that if one has a large finished basement with bedrooms down, adding that efficiency kitchen would be an excellent improvement as they came in higher here than the cost of putting in some cabinets, a spot for a stove a fridge.
