One of the keys for landlords is that the new rules significantly lower the number of surfaces that have to be deleaded...which lowers the cost of abatement compared to the law pre-12/1/2017. 

It's just the resources seem far and few as compared to a Kansas City or somewhere bigger.

Additional to this is if there is a porch or another exit on the ground floor that the upper units may not have.What is your personal preference?

What made you decide on FL  compared to other markets?

If all units are residential 2-bedrooms rents could be around 1300/month.ARV as a 4-family around 450k-500k, but there are not a lot of comparable from the past two years sold.I wouldn't be able to finalize how many units/uses I would put in until I know how I would refinance. 

This property cash flow to current value is not great (because its value is so high) but the cash flow compared to purchase cost places this as our best purchase. 

That way we can compare what the selling landlord is telling us to what the tenant has to say about lease terms and catch inconsistencies before closing. 

Also I have 10k for a down payment, the house is only 50k and comparable homes in the neighborhood that are in decent shape but need an update are selling for 100-140k so it would be a great investment but I’m looking forward to hearing some insight from people with experience in this sort of thing.

It worked well for me because I was a busy running a business and my local market was not good for passive cash flowing REI, as prices were too high compared to rents.Yes you do own the property. 

And when developing a parcel from the ground up, investors take on more types of risk than just the construction risk.
