You have to dig deep for yourself and your clients when purchasing these types of properties.

I did deep due diligence on several franchise opportunities, as well as some other business ventures.

I didn't waist my breath.

Breath.

Much better to find sellers yourself and at a deep discount for your buyers.Search around BP forums on wholesaling, you'll learn a lot more.

Could also be used as a wine cellar.laundry rooms....Most depict the dungeon life of old.So we put in all new cupboards, marble tile & threw in a (cheap remnant) granite top with an under-mount 10" deep sink.

Unless one tenant goes over the deep end, tenants who have a vested interest (they're paying) in utilities probably won't go too overboard and neither tenant will care.

I started reading online on how to do it and it sounds like maybe sealing the brick could be a bad thing because the brick needs to breath.

. ($900 - $1350)This I think gives some downside wiggle room, and since we purchase for cash flow, I do not really care about the nominal price of the assets, just my basis in that asset based upon the long term cash flow prospects.I think that as long as we as investors keep an eye on median incomes of our respective markets, and make sure we are buying at a deep enough discount, we will alright and see the signs of the next bubble.

I've had quite a few callers with empty lots (some at DEEP discounts) and a few with duplexes as well that I haven't had anything good to do with.
