I have a target market of grad/medical students, young millennial professionals  of the abundance if 5***** universities in downtown DC and they do not expect bells and whistles, just new, modern,  comfortable places consistent with $100,000 student loans that they have.

We are working on rehabbing another 2/1 that is 1000 sf with a huge yard and detached garage, that i am going to market for $1050. 

@Tony MarcelleI heard someone say "garage sales" the other day.

I look for newer homes from the 80's and 90's with modern floor plans that are beat up.

Overall I really like it, it's modern (which I care about for tenants) and saves me time and stress.

Was at a tenants place checking electrical in garage and basement the other day.

I lived in that home for 4 years doing various improvements (landscaping, remodeled porch, finished garage).

It actually has a well, needs some repair, but has been used as recent as 6-8 mos ago when a relative lived on the property (it's a house 3br/3ba, detached garage is said to be zoned for commercial use, as well).

House hacking my first duplex in Oak Park, IL and need the following work done: 1) Brick repointing or tuckpointing 2) Garage concrete floor replacement 3) Rotted siding removed and replaced 4) Window replacement 5) new flooringAny subcontractors or general contractors you would recommend for my area based on your experience?

Look for modern, diverse industries and economies.
