As it stands, if you build the wall now, you will have to contend with the overhanging treads, which will complicate drywalling and finishing. 

Therefore, I would contend that much much bigger forces than realtors had a hand in this.I think the bigger forces at work (and we will probably never know the full scope) wereInterest ratesLegislation- Glass-Seagall Act, Community Reinvestment Act & updatesJobsAs Mr.

and the easiest way to do that is contact a good realtor who works with new home builders.. and then a quick walk into the planning department at the city or county to check on zoning and what other issues one would need to contend with to subdivide it or split it from the current configuration..appraisal is not necessary unless its a feel good and you want to spend money on it.. and surveying I would not spend money doing that unless your moving forward with some type of project.if its a high demand new construction area builders will be clammering for it.. if its in an area were there is NO new construction the lot may have little if any value.. as existing homes or structures sell for far less than replacement value rendering the land underneath them a liability not an asset with zero market value.. we see this all over the larger metro areas in the less desirable sections of town.

If you tell him now that you don't want him, he may refuse to move out and you will have a different problem to contend with at that time.

Jim from the minute i filed bankruptcy I have been rebuilding my credit or as you put it "getting my financial house in order" I started an L.L.C. as an alternative to my personal credit, and to also establish myself as an serious contender in the real estate market.

Dave,Congratulations, you've done well and exited a marked handsomely.While an overall ROI of 12 - 15% is solid, I still contend that CAP rates are meaningless in the context of residential properties as that is not how they are bought, sold or valued.  

In my opinion, a bad joke on the part of Norristown to call run down blocks historic and force people that actually intend to improve properties to conform to make believe aesthetic preservation.I do contend that it is still possible to make Norristown work if you find a good enough deal. 

Like if they go back to the lottery system (which wasn't working and that's why the Expedited Program deal was struck) then she hopefully won't have to contend with the lifetime lease issue.

@Nicholas Gayton I did my own analysis by looking at over 50 locations and I can say that my top contenders for investment are Killeen, TX, Phoenix, AZ, Boise, ID, Jacksonville, FL and Tampa, FL. 

Have your seller do the option and since it is owner occupied, you don't have the SAFE Act to contend with.That's probably the cheapest way to get into the place for you.I like the path of least resistence.Boy, you did dig up an old one!
