I'd play it safe near DU or CC, but that's me.  

@Jay Hinrichs And this is one of the many reasons why newbies should buy safe and secure SFR's.  

We need to use some safe standards for fixing and flipping across the board for this strategy but ultimately I'm finding more and more is you also just have to find what works for you in your market(s).

We replaced roofs, refinished the interiors, repaired staircases to top units in order to make them safe for usage - they were in horrible + unsafe condition upon purchase.

We are thrilled to be able to provide our current tenants with renovated + safe access to their units, update their interiors, address some ancient HVAC systems and bring their roofs up to standard.

I would just tell them if they find a safe alternative to go ahead with it

I know my audience values growing their wealth safely, so I create content that shows how we do that.

@Zariyan Sachedina If this is going to be a rental down the line, quartz would probably be a safe bet.

(if you're really sharp, get new supply lines and new water valve, your then really safe)   Don't go with tankless, up front costs are WAY to high.

It looks like I could safely get away with renting it for $1100 in this area based on CL and current Zillow listings.
