Are you saying it is on septic when all the comps are on city sewer?

When assessing the “reasonable” standard elements that need to be considered are the size of the room, fire and health codes and any other applicable city regulations.

Then warn them if they do not do something they may face fines or action by city/county.

im getting all type of motivated sellers from the inner city obviously but im only dealing with the houses that needs 10k-15k in rehab or the ones that are livable.

I went into a local BOA branch back in '96 or '97, and within thirty minutes walked out with a $50K HELOC which allowed me to buy a crack house in the inner city.

You're right, landlord-tenant laws in DC are definitely skewed in favor of tenants in the city.

City fathers usually do whatever they like with little consideration to any minority and their actions are usually are grounded in some economic goal.

It was a short sale with code enforcement issues with the city that took a lot of hours to resolve over the last few months and a lot of negotiations with the first and second lien holder to get it down to the current price (I guess a contract at 4.7% of the unpaid balance isn't the easiest thing to get them to swallow) so it wasn't just an easy just an easy purchase.

I run my own comps, but at times when expanding into new unfamiliar neighborhoods and cities, sometimes comps within a 1/4 or 1/2 mile within a reasonable date range give very unclear comps.
