It is a great place to meet new friends and learn about various aspects of real estate and more.

I understand why people do it, but my instinctive reaction to getting a VM dumped in my lap is do delete without listening and block the number.My thinking in every aspect of my business is to treat everybody the same way I'd want to be treated. 

There are a couple organizations in that area worth checking out...one is from 1974, the other is only a few months old (Impact Services & Kensington Corridor Trust) Impact put out a strategic plan for the neighborhood that you should check out if you're going to invest there. 

@Matthew Terry, You're certainly thinking strategically. 

@Bryan Hancock thanks for the great insight, at the end of the day if there is no balance in other aspects of life it would definitely not mean alot.

But from years of experience, I can tell you that when you factor in repairs, lost rent, evictions and generally higher crime activity in 'D' areas, you'll end up with the same or lower c/o/c as a B neighborhood.There are good and not-so-good people in all socio-economic classes; but when it comes to renting low c to d properties, you might want to re-think the 'no brainer' aspect of your calculations.Good luck.

Any help, assistance, tips, and recommendations would be drastically appreciated, as I continue to learn and strive for greatness through all aspects of life (health, relationships, finances, nutrition etc...

Another aspect I'm not entirely sure of is what happens to the capital gains tax. 

If I came upon an amazing property, but for the heating system, I'd just replace that aspect just like I'd do if it was an amazing property and needed a new roof or new kitchen. 

Continue to acquire more knowledge about multifamily real estate, meet builders, investors and bankers and plan to strategize the next project that shall come before the end of this year.
