Grand Junction on the West slope is more cost effective and is near all the outdoor playgrounds.

They both lack a real living room and that would be tough to get top of market 2 bed rents for, but $550 is pretty standard for 1 bed units in that area so if you market to that tenant base you shouldn't have a problem renting out.

Bedrooms and bathroom upstairs, and living room, dining room, kitchen and laundry on first floor, and access to basement.Building needs some repair since its old, but being that its fully rented I assume there aren't any major problems or it would not have passed inspection.Mortgage on it was taken out for 118k back in Dec. 2011.City taxes are $7273 annually and school taxes are $5510 annually.For the attached building:a mortgage was taken out for $27700 back in April 2010.City taxes are $3602 annually and school taxes are $3322 annually.So I was thinking of buying both to have 6 units and a commercial space to rent out for a convenience store or something of the sort.
