Use the upper search bar to see if there are any realtors in your area. 

I am a new investor purchasing my first 3 unit rental property in upper Darby, PA. and have been preapproved using 20% down payment.  

HOWEVER, it's very low crime (1 block from police station) and is surrounded by middle and upper middle class areas with very low crime.

Im going to live in the upper apartment and rent out the bottom.  

In Florida in many places the upper floors have to have cork or sound barriers installed as well. 

., thank you.I sometimes see the phrase "A/B/C/D area" on here to describe if the area something more pristine/upper class, middle-class typical, or a subpar neighborhood.I've done research into these areas, and while not horrible "D" areas of the Greater Pittsburgh Area, some of these areas would probably be described as C, or maybe C-.I'm hoping that the main issue with these properties are they are in subpar but not horrible neighborhood.As most have said here, the best option is to get some feet on the ground and go see. 

For discussion sake lets say the project is a upper tier flag in a solid secondary market. $10 million turn key project, looking at 20% down ($2 million).

Should I try to go for more of a fixer-upper and use more cash for a better rehab?

I would like to do the 1031But I have 2 problems.I just closed on a fixer upper for $7,000 that I need to clean and turn for fast cash.

It looks like the outside stairway in the back to the upper unit is the only entrance.
