Then it was I had no right to judge her I don't walk in her shoes.

After 2008 there were tons of forclosures and walk-a-ways that went back to the banks etc, so it seems like a SWD might not be that uncommon? 

Purchase price: $155,400 Cash invested: $40,000 Property is located in Cuyler-Brownsville an historic district within walking distance of popular Metropolitan District of Savannah GA.I purchased the property to get started in the real estate space, however I value the walkability of the property, its proximity to parks and nightlife.Although the area is a rated roughly as a “C class” neighborhood.

You're Pushing your potential buyer/buyers to possibly walk away if they can't find solution. more often than not the money you end up missing on, exceeds the 1%-2% coop commission you're trying to save.  

The conversion will also have a 5x10 walk-in pantry that is open from the kitchen (garage and kitchen share a wall).  

As for value, I would conservatively say they have doubled.My other building is in East Oakland, purchased 2016, within walking distance to Fruitvale BART.

Did the contractor walk out without doing any work?

Wondering if I should walk because this seems like it will take forever.

One thing I'm struggling with however is my ability to really understand the local markets in some of the areas I've been targeting.Among a couple areas, I think Watsessing Ave in Bloomfield has great transit, appropriately priced properties (cash flow opportunities), and there seems to be some serious development happening (new supermarket and luxury apts just finishing a short walk east of the Watsessing Ave station).I've driven many of the streets and seen a few properties in the area to get a feel.  

Buying another primary residence, rent our your current home, and then find a place with a walk-out basement where you can rent that to someone else so that you can save more for your next investment.
