High probability your neighbors wants you to get rid of the problem house and eye sore.  

What I do have is some sort of genetic disorder called "a sometimes misguided passion for real estate investing" that at times interferes with other areas of my life.

These new du/triplexes do stick out like sore thumbs, but are apparently selling to someone.

Also, couple tips: Close ASAP, send cash offer with $2,500 Earnest Money and no contigencies...your offer will stand out like a sore thumb and you'll be filling your pockets with dough.

And yet others are able to turn a property from an eye sore to a pretty house at a good value.From afar, I assume that you are looking to use financial resources and ultimately grow your investments.

They would cost me roughly 10k to get installed, but these can be eye sores and also can have reliability issues.

If your house is beautifully done on the exterior, that driveway patch job will stick out like a sore thumb and will be a turn off for most buyers. 

Refi out the $50k, use it again, keep repeating this until your arm gets sore.  

My major complaint is the fact that as an interesting post is developing, complete with a lot of great information, a mod decides to delete the entire post thus depriving those following it a lot of great back & forth information.The recent post regarding 1099's deadlines per se is one sorely missed example.In the consideration of those of us who do appreciate specific information it maybe more productive (of the mod), to specifically delete the offending entry or inappropriate information.If 'Mod forbid' it absolutely has to be deleted at least give those of us 'following the topic' a curtesy heads up so we can copy/paste the informative feedback.

Quite the eye sore for CCC haha
