I talk about this on my YouTue channel a lot and we get more and more people move to Milwaukee, many say they visited and where shocked how much they liked it and because of cooler climate, plenty fresh water, and lack of smoke, fires, storms, floods etcSidenote: took my wife to Chicago last week for a show and we got stuck in the suburbs for 2 hours trying to get on a freeway.

As a General Contractor my liability insurer would drop me like a hot potato if they found out I let subs smoke pot or drink on the job.

The The particular unit had no damage done to it from the actual fire, but the smoke is prevalent in the unit.

Anyone saying otherwise is blowing smoke.

I'm not addressing cash flow here, because that's deal specific and investor specific.But here is a little tour of a "Typical (San Antonio)" (C minus) neighborhood with typical (C minus) structures I picked in a random neighborhood on Google drive around view.What (to me) makes a (C minus) area (in San Antonio) is an abundance of, Loose dogs in the street, fenced front yards with fences leaning and in disrepair, yards full of all sorts of debris (because the little houses lack storage space), antique (who knows how old) paint, neglected leaning secondary structures in disrepair, car repairs going on but seemingly abandoned, pickup trucks from the Carter Administration to the early 90's, Residents who WORK for a living, No chain of Murders, No Sal-mon in the fish tacos in neighborhood restaurants, decent nice (helpful) people you can talk to, extended families living close to each other who help each other, not unlawful in their ways.

Do you smoke?

I still do it unless it's a deal-breaker on a smoking deal and I'm super-confident of the condition.

For example, they would inspect your place (required) and say a smoke detector has been be moved a few feet, and then the electrician would quote a high rate because they knew it was required.  

Keep an eye out for smoke and water damages.
