Hi Folks,I purchased a pair of vacant lots in a county tax foreclosure sale last fall.

It is a complex pairing of a C Corporation and a 401k, and the 401k buys shares of the parent corporation using an employee stock option purchase.  

The difference is that, being based in Birmingham with many pairs of boots on the ground, we know the area and the market like the back our of hands (as the class of neighborhood or property can change drastically from block to block depending on the area).

I'll have to get in there and get a few pair of eyes on it, thank you for all the feedback and thoughts!

Know what the comps are in that immediate area for new construction, the size, and level of craftsmanship, do not guess.Before you build a pair of beautiful homes, Look it up in the county property maps and turn on topography and flood zones to see how deep in the flood zone you are in.

Hi Rob,I have a pair of properties in Worcester.

I to have put new ones in because I let another pair die cause I got lazy watering them lol.

In this case, Mike and Laurie were the perfect pairing—it shows in both the house itself and in the closing price!

Hell, my personal home went up in value about 25% the day I closed... according to Zillow.On purchases, by contrast, you've got a pair of real estate agents running credible comps and keeping the delusions in check.

Just make sure you calculate that you pair fair market rent or less.
