And what investor off the street would want to buy a condo with HOA fees.

Hey Linda, I'd be glad to help you out.the numbered streets by the Zoo and Tautphaus Park are pretty good places to live.

This looks like a decent deal depending on the condition of the property and the area it’s in/street it is on. 

I'm not picturing how else someone would get to a 2nd floor unit besides stairs.Is the garage on an alley behind the property, or is the garage that would normally be close to the main street simply behind the house?

Now for the good news, Dayton has a very vibrant investor community.

Knowing he was likely to deploy, we made adjustments to his lease to extend it 15 months so he can get settled and work on finding a new rental or buying a home (HOA doesn’t allow 3 vehicles or use of a 3rd parking stall, so once we’re all back, we work with management to get extended parking passes until we find a solution/park on the street or they find a new place for rent).

There is only one there, easy street

For that price, generally there are only relatively smaller beach condos (2 Bed 1 Bath maybe 2 Bath) a lot of which aren't necessarily beach front but are right across the street, all of which I'm perfectly okay with as long as I know the potential is there for good enough cashflow to get started investing.

If so, you would probably want to have those homes/lots designed for a future driveway to come off that street. 

I do have stocks but I wasn’t thinking that I should play the market but if the stock market keeps getting hammered, then I could see myself waiting to get some blue chips as the time to buy is when there is “blood in the streets”.
