Now you will have an L shaped corner in the kitchen with which to work.

When viewing the home tonight the family was there and when asked if they planned to stay they said they would love to stay in the homeAsking Price For Home: $144kHome is listed as a 2/2 but I found that it is actually a 3/2 with two master bedroomsAll appliances and rooms were in great shape with hard surfaces throughout homeCurrent tenant is renting at $1k/month and has a lease that ends 4/30Comps for rental homes in the neighborhood are $1200, so the tenant is currently paying well below market rentsHome currently has a Property Manager managing it as the homeowner lives in Spain and is trying to get rid of the propertyQuestions I have (and I know you will have to put a disclaimer because these are some legal questions but would appreciate feedback)Would you do this deal?

I'm still figuring out exactly what shape that will take, but I believe it will likely be some combination of buy-and-hold and flipping.I plan to pursue a real estate license here in Washington to enable me to more easily get licensed in Idaho as well (Idaho doesn't have online courses like WA does), and I'd love to learn more about flipping, finding and purchasing multifamily investments, and on real estate investment with little cash.

my family owns rental properties in SM some are under rent control, like almost rental properties in SM they are old and and in a bad shape.

Just to give some context, the duplex was built in the late 80s, is in good shape, and is not in a flood zone.

Right now, we are starting to see signs that some of the trends are changing.

However, if the trend of the interest rate is going up, the lender has a big chance to call the sale due, so they can have you refinance at a higher interest rate, and the lender can make more money.

I believe this has been a trend for the last few years and some parts of NJ are seeing astronomical appreciation because of it. 

If there is anything in decent shape just leave it by the curb for a few days and see if it disappears but if you leave it too long you might have an issue with the city. 

There are neighborhoods where I live where all the yards and professionally maintained, and others where every house is in bad shape.
