When the easy money ground to a halt, the speculative demand disappeared, building stopped, the tenants went away, and now its a very tough market.Here we have very low inventory at the low end.

Then you can seek common ground on terms.

In addition to that you could possible work the 2 markets, if you set up the systems and teams on the ground. 

Would love to connect with some local folks on the ground (I live and invest in NYC but looking to expand further afield) to talk shop. 

There is a listing for a walgreens ground lease I noticed on the internet.

I had our maintenance company run a camera down the pipe and it had not broken, at a cost of 150 dollars.Cut to last month, I went to the house because she was moving out and I wanted to put stakes in the ground to keep it from happening again.

-Low-income tenants, Grounds not well kept, units in fair condition and cleanliness outside.

Let's say one side of the building was underground, so the roof was at ground level, you would not fall.

But it's something to consider.If the property is "totaled", like it burns to the ground. 

If you don't have experience investing in a particular area or have trustworthy boots on the ground, then you should fly out and look at what you're getting BEFORE you make an offer.
