I was thinking more neutral territory like Clearfield, State College, and Lock Haven; not enemy territory home to mostly Eagles and Flyers fans!  

(Silver knob and gold cylynder) That way I can look at a doorknob and know if it is ready for a contractor with key 217 or time to replace the cylynder for a new tenant.More about this on the Illinois REIA blog Info below my post.

No silver bullet but conversations snowball! 

(We're in Eagle Rock right now)Some days it feels impossible, but where there's a will there's a way.

I personally would also try and get some better photos, it seems like you are getting showings but I think the photos are lacking, better photos I think have the potential to greatly increase the chance of getting someone to 'fall in love' with the home before they ever get their in person which sometimes is all we need for them to view minor imperfections with rose-colored glasses versus looking for reasons not to buy.I know their is no silver bullet in there but just my thoughts, overall though, it's a good neighborhood and seems to be priced fairly. 

Except I use fake money (fiat money) to buy real money, which is gold and silver.

I've been a buyer in distressed markets before, so personally maybe there is a silver lining. 

There is a silver lining though.

Im based in Los Angeles (Eagle Rock)... 

Silver is $15 per once.
