He's always finding gems ( @Shawn Holsapple )

From a financing prospective, 2100 a unit on a 60s vintage product is way low.

You will find out that the site is a hidden gem.

People have been known to find real gems in these but gems are buried very deep and you have to spend a long time mining for them.

I contacted the tax assessor and collectors offices and was given  the same name of the owner... but with the same address of the property in question, no other address, which is, by the way, board up and has been for quite sometime; per local residence of the block...What can I do to take the name given me as the owner of the boarded up four family and locate the person who owns it so that I may get a chance to purchase this gem.????

The Flippers are buying anything that has some kind of achitechtural appeal and gutting it to create those gem type houses that you see on the Flipper shows on TV, but, your neighbor may be raising pit bulls and have junk cars and cook crack cocaine in the kitchen.

Wanting to capitalize on our profits, we bought a vintage Airstream to live in while we searched for the "right deal" in the midst of the insanity of Colorado's front range real estate market.  

@Brandon Smith in my opinion, the hidden gem is the area nearest East Longmeadow, until almost the X - that 83 corridor.

They think every house is gem even though they probably never even stepped foot inside it.Good luck.

I've worked to dramatically decrease my debt over the last year with the intention of banking my cash until I found a property I could move on but something stressful has happened. . .I just stumbled upon what I think is a gem, that is off market, and exactly what I was interested in getting started with.
