So you'll encapsulate and condition the crawlspace, like Building Science (the site) recommends? 

But it's not rocket science, and I made it work when the opportunity came along.I agree with you that everybody entering contracts should do so responsibly and should understand what they are getting into.

Nothing they did to achieve success was rocket science.

I promise you that modeling isn’t rocket science but using one formula to buy a multi-million dollar asset is borderline dangerous.If underwriting was as simple as 100 + 20 < 150, wouldn’t everyone be real estate millionaires?

Set yourself up as a serious investor and find yourself someone who has a track record of closing deals (just look to see who represented buyers on recent commercial deals in your area...not rocket science). 

I must say, however, "rent control" is fascinating!

I find real estate to be quite fascinating. 

Another fascinating feature of this particular house was that it didn't have a Siegler type oil burning heaters that I was familiar with (these usually sit in the center of the house).

Nearby schools include Porter Elementary School, Ontech Charter High School and Syracuse Academy of Science Charter School.

Hi, I've always been fascinated by the real estate business and I am glad I found this site.
