We will be investing from out of state, a rock star property management company capable of managing and overseeing this kind of asset is of the utmost importance.

If their unit flooded and it was their fault then you can put it against their insurance and let the insurance companies fight it out. 

The inventory is kind of low out there and there is more completion to fight.  

If you build a $1,000,000 duplex, each side renting for $2,000 per month, I'd think that even with the limited need for repairs/capex/maintenance that goes with new construction that you would be better off selling it, taking the equity created and moving it to an investment capable of producing more income per dollar of asset value.I think that if I were building brand new here in town, I'd be planning to sell it as soon as possible, and buy more property in great parts of town that can generate both income now, and possible redevelopment exits down the line. 

My only addition is to say that not all assessors have brought their websites to a public use capability.

Then we had to fight to get our earnest money back but the bank(seller) finally signed off.  

Do you know of any websites that are capable of uncovering what is bringing there score down?

The bathroom, which I'm capable of, I think I'll farm out. 

You admittedly are located in a challenged area, so, it's not easy to give tenant notice and get another financially capable one.2.

everything I do I had to fight for killed my business!
