I've never done that- but I think it would slow the rate of heat flow through the ceiling, and hopefully reduce the upper tenant's need to open the window.If you have dropped ceilings, maybe some fiberglass insulation wouldn't be too hard to install.

We've boarded up the home, closed the fences, etc and still have issues with them breaking windows, cutting through locks, etc.The issue here is that we were planning on re-renting this home and went out on a limb to pull the boards for pictures today but ultimately over night, they came again, broke in, and left standing water throughout the home.The options as far as I see are:Sell below market value and continue towards my original strategy of upgrading neighborhoodsTry to list a boarded home? 

I did some networking and met some investors who buy fixer uppers.

The upper and lower had been recently remodeled and with comps in the area we figured the value to be roughly $80,000. 

My goal is to acquiring initial property, mostly fixer-uppers maintaining them (duplex) mostly then moving to commercial real estate?

Mind you, this is an upper C to lower B class property.

Potential buyers, myself included, will see the complete lack of landscaping, the neglected interior and be optimistic that it’s a good fixer-upper.

Just had the upper half of my two family in Lakewood go vacant at the end of November and I had a deposit from a well qualified new tenant by mid-December (not moving in til Feb 1st though). 

I don't particularly mind the idea of buying fixer-uppers and also intend on doing the property management myself.
