I don't understand your desire to knock down an existing property and build from scratch.  

We just don't have the desire or time available to flip.

Not to say avoid like the plague, but if you were looking for A/B, Euclid and the Randall Park area may not be desired areas for that. 

Next year it may not be.Varski Properties Rule #57 "Desire and dreams are hard to reconcile.

Dave Charron I vote convert the downstairs den to a bedroom and then convert the 4th bedroom upstairs to an en suite master bath.That way you keep 4 bedrooms but also add a highly desirable en suite.

- This shows my gratitude and desire to add value to them.These can be a great starting point for you.

This is in a highly desirable area.My net looks to be somewhere around $40,000 low end to 66,000 high end per year.My out of pocket will likely be $125,000 from the 20% down payment and then furnishing the rental. 

I suppose that my question is that it seems that these deals seem a lot less desirable than 2 bathroom homes for rentals and flips.

There is really nothing holding me back from achieving what I desire, outside of the mental self-limiting beliefs telling me that I am not worthy & capable of jumping to the next position towards my vision and doing multiple multifamily investment deals & managing other deals/projects at the same and always have deals coming up to do next.2.
