Zeona,I listened to your great podcast a few weeks ago and it helped me decide to take two smaller SFR's in the downtown/historic area of Ocala and convert to MTR's.

Is this a historical ROW?

However I can tell you that duplexes and triplexes do not work well in Toledo because the rents are not much more than apartments and not much less than SFR's, therefore there really isn't a segment of the market that they serve other than the "no one else will rent to them" crowd.I have detailed historical data on my SFR's vs. multi's and am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Mike has always discussed the 50% ratio in the context of a property you are considering acquiring -- a property for which you have no historic experience to draw upon.

Tacony is an historic neighborhood 8 miles outside of Center City with the Delaware River as one of it's boarders. 

It has been growing since 2014, with the newest data available being 2015.Median Age - 37 which is below the state average but I have not found historical data.  

Ironically, the building was nearing demo as we intended to construct a multi-family until the historic preservation board became aware. 

San Diego has always had a poor rent to value ratio compared to many locations but historically its ROI on financed buy and hold has been near the top in the nation.  

As far as insulation, this is a historical building from the mid-1800's, so we have brick with plaster right up against it, so not sure there is really a place to even put insulation.  

Is this an older neighborhood that is historic?
