The house is in decent condition in a low to middle income neighborhood.

If your end buyer decides to proceed but wants to negotiate it is easy for you to be squeezed out of the middle.

If you are looking out east stay in Blue Springs, Grain Valley, and Lees Summit you will garner more rent per unit, and see better long term appreciation.

I wonder if you would mind if I could ask you which are the nice suburban upper middle class areas of Central and North Florida.

I prefer the mid-west or the south-east/ south-west.

Had I done the exact same finishes but left the wall and door in the middle it would have felt very tight and cramped.

I reside in Fort Lauderdale and looking for properties around South East FL.

The opportunity I'm seeing is that there are a few condo conversions that are priced below $1M mark and accessible for middle to upper middle income earners.

I've been in SF for 20 years so don't know the valley as well now, but maybe east palo alto or parts of San Jose, or parts of redwood city east of 101?

I know here in southern California with the price of properties, if a person wants to do more deals than what they can personally put up the money for, and the properties are appreciating, rather than waiting several months to be able to turn the one or two deals they are in the middle of and then reinvest in another upon their sale, considering the appreciation,, etc. it may be worth it to do a joint venture.
