Nicest house on the block is not always a good thing.

Looking on the MLS, it seems like there is opportunity to invest in Multifamily properties in Seaside heights. 2 family Properties a block from the beach and boardwalk are going for around 300k.

@Lillie MAnon, I tried to reply to your email, but it says you've blocked me on BP.

But to be specific it was new interior trim throughout, cabinets and concrete counters in kitchen and bakers pantry, light fixtures everywhere but bedrooms, flooring throughout entire house, interior paint, complete bathroom remodels, exterior paint, roof, some flower bed stuff out front. 

@Hub Knott Baltimore is a very block by block city.

We're also looking for recommendations for someone who does decent and reasonably priced concrete work.

If they're marketing it as a B/B+ area but there are lots of cars on cinder blocks, people hanging around during the day, or unkempt houses/lawns, then they're inflating the property class so they can charge more.Absolutely make the trip out to meet the team before pulling the trigger!

Every pro has their view on this, the bigger picture will give better more concrete answers.

We are planning to rent this property at around $1200 / month which seems to be the market rate currently.We also own outright an empty lot about a block away.

I've seen some crazy block basements with bowing walls that are hard to believe, sliding down hillsides.
