@Joseph ODonovan In my opinion I feel that the inflation of home values is based upon hype. I don’t see anything in that specific neighborhood that lays a solid foundation for the next step of development and sustainable growth.

@Caleb Heimsoth and I appreciate that insight. it’s exactly the type of outlook I was looking for :)

@Caleb Heimsoth fair enough. My estimated monthly expense would be around 1600 in an appreciating market on a commercial corridor with gross income of 2200. Yes this has the option to become a storefront by right.

Floods don’t happen often in this area and if they do let’s call it one out of fifteen years. Though I do understand the reasoning to shy away from the opportunity at first glance of flood zone.

@Caleb Heimsoth fair enough. Seller was looking to show me another property he had and wanted to FSBO. Asked if I could bring a buyer. We happened to cross-paths with a friend of mine who I introduced to the seller.

Turns out she tried to purchase the house next door a year previous and was outbid. They ended up talking and she bought his property days later.

I had no involvement with the sale other than the introduction. He offered me cash and I refused because that’s not how I do business.

This duplex is his other property he was looking to FABO. This was his way of making it up to me. I wasn’t interested in investing at this point of my career since I’m an active agent though I must admit it peaked my interest.
