Unlike your situation, the parcels were always separate from each other, but the sellers loan was collateralized against both the single family home parcel as well as the vacant parcel.

I find couple hundo on a mortgage we just piddle that money away any way might as well do some good with it..

If you can learn a market and become extremely confident in running your numbers you should do well most of the time.

We have been targeting $1350 recently and that has been going well. 

Oh well, but I have the resource to keep moving forward and I have about 25 guys, so my client is covered.

I’m asking for opinions in this area since the crime rate is High and vacancy rate is high as well.

Maybe one of the owners you talk to happen have larger properties as well.   

Smells of cooking or smoking are likely to do so as well.Having said all of the above, the flats I'm familiar with have rented reasonably well at market rents.

Currently Stelnick Law is working on my case and it's going really well. :) 

I would recommend listing it on paperstac as well and see what people will offer. some important questions will be is it perfomring?
