Sitting on a double lot, 800 ft deep with a 40x60 barn, we had an investor very interested.It kept dropping until it bottomed at $59,900 & he had 3 offers but conv financing balked at the repairs & the mechanicals kept failing the inspections.

Hello All,I have been getting into real estate the past few months, started out posting yellow signs every weekend for 6 months, and have also been sending out yellow letters for the past 6 months, around 1000 / month.I've gotten really close to closing on a triplex at a great price, however it ended up falling through.I'm 27, currently work full time as a mechanical engineer, however I would like to quit my job and devote my time to going back to school and medical issues with my shoulder (rehab takes a few hours a day), while working part time.I was planning on helping a seasoned investor I know with his property management.

When I purchase a property I always plan in to upgrade the mechanicals if they are out of date.

The flood elevation certificate is based on the lowest finished (living area) of the home including some of the mechanicals.
