In the case of Jason Scott and in his neck of the woods, he is able to have his buyers use his lender and with that extra control, often times, the appraiser comes in at value (contract price).

I also build in a fair amount of flexibility combined with limits with my condo renter (Pelican Pointe, in your neck of the woods) and it has kept the same tenant in there for 2 years now.

Would welcome your thoughts, and that of others in that neck of the woods.Thanks,Craig N.

@Scott Weaner, depending on the company doing the imaging, it could range from wanting to replace the pipe at a cost of $3500-$5000 to just a cleaning to root removal which will be a few hundred $$.There was one company in our neck of with woods which has bright trucks (PM me for name if you want), who tried to replace the pipe and use strong sales tactics.

Perhaps it's normal in your neck of the woods.

I'd just like to add to what others have said about the North Ward and the Ironbound (Down Neck if your talking to old Italians) is that even in those districts there are multiple neighborhoods.

Anyway, I'm in your neck of the woods.

Keep fighting the good fight and look forward to hearing more about itIf  I am ever in your neck of the woods, or vis versa, we need to defintiely grab a cold one!

Use your brains, use your muscles, use whatever gifts you have - it will come to you.

In my neck of the woods (Las Vegas), it looks to me like typical gross rental yields are around 7%-ish, which doesn't seem extremely low or high.
