That's one of the issues with high crime areas.

What is there issue supplying the rent roll?

Going in with a rationale for a price might make things easier if the seller takes issue with it.

@Ben Miculob  Ben, if you are using a hard money lender because you are rehabbing the house and you use an LLC to buy the property, you will have some issues refinancing. 

Also be sure to inspect prior to lease renewal in case you need to use it as leverage for correcting any issues before agreeing to renew or find something that merits non-renewal.sample letter:Tenant, Thanks for being a valued resident over the past XXXX!

If you have original windows in an older home they will be more of an issue than the AC unit.

They are early in careers and not making high salary, so price sensitivity generally is an issue, rents go up too much they can and do leave for other buildings or other markets.Our projects are now entirely out of the millennial markets, serving a totally different population.If you are seeking to hold long term, or are attempting to build to a different demographic, then that should inform your unit mix. 

A few options we're considering as alternatives to paying in cash ourselves:Having the seller fix some issues before purchase (we're in the process of post-inspection renegotiations).

If neither of you have done it in Philly isnt it an issue of the blind leading the blind?

Go look at properties for sale with a realtor bring along a carpenter or contractor with you ( buy them lunch) bring a tablet and write down the issues and costs as they rattle them off .
