More Hood than Hood Prt 2

I finally got a chance to get into the two houses in the "more hood than hood" post on this blog.

The interior needs some serious rehab, but I think they are workable properties. I have a verbal offer to the heirs (6 heirs again!) and they should let me know in a few days what everybody thinks.
It is a pretty cool setup.

The city used to allow building on 25' wide lots in this neighborhood. So the original owner (grampa) build 2 houses on one city assessed lot back in the day. So if these two houses were knock-downs, the new owner would only be able to re-build one house on the lot.

However, since there are two houses there now, they will allow for rehab and not force demolition. Nice. That creates a situation for 3 rental units to be on the same property. Hello Cash Flow! My landlord buyer types should love this beauty.

Oh, and don't fear the uninhabitable warning sign on the window. Not condemned! A quick purchase and clean-up and the city will remove the warnings and permits can be pulled. Zoning/code enforcement was actually easy to talk to.
