Tear-down across the street recently sold last summer for $565K and ~3500 sq ft, high-end, new constructions nearby are selling as soon as they hit the market for ~$1.5 million.  2.  

Also, I'm aiming for big streets, or transportation hubs (subway station, train stops, etc).

If the street dose not already have mobile homes on it is likely not allowed (although still worth checking), Bigger lots out in the country on septic are much more likely not have restrictions against mobile homes.

I believe that areas to avoid are Druid Heights, Greenmount and North Avenue.To that end, I am nearing the completion of a RE sale in California and am searching for replacement properties in Baltimore that would meet the 2%-3% rule and comply with a 1031 exchange. 

Hello this is my first post here but hoping to get some advice on a potential flip. I found a property near Greenville, NC that has some fire damage. I have not purchased a fire damaged property before and would like ...

This is the kicking the can down the street answer.I believe the Fed is stupid enough to raise rates, as we're already in a recession. 

How many numbers you have with street names after it don't matter.  

There are a few smaller towns not to far east of I25 that are cheaper but are "bedroom communities" to Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, etc. that are cheaper but current rents are high.  15-years ago I was told and I think it still holds true...if you want to find cheaper housing just go north and east of Denver.This is just my 2 cents. 

North Texas Association or Real Estate Investors http://ntarei.com/ This group has a general meeting once a month and hosts a lots of workshops for a small fee.

Just for potential notes: going by the numbers, the 4plex doesn't seem to have separate electric meters, both the fourplex and duplex looks like a roof replacement is due, some windows are boarded up (100% occupied)driveways would need to be added (currently a dirt lot)There is definitely room on the property to add another 4plex if zoning allowed (there is an apartment complex right next door so I don't see why not)even the third property has a good chunk of land behind it considering what the norm is here.There is a nice elementary school that is just being completed on the same street less than a few houses away.
