@Lillian LeighLol trenton will never change To much crimeGo down a few blocks to Stuyvesant ave in the summer and you will see why not to buy there

Louis city and as many old houses in the city it has limestone blocks for a foundation which seems to be in good shape but no concrete floor. 

But mostly investor don't want to touch their cash to block anywhere unless it nevessary.

Wendy is right - but there's a lot to consider when it come to fraud.There are several types of fraud - most have to do with intent and the actions taken prior to, during, and after the fraud takes place - and all can be argued one way or another.Pretty much every single purchase money loan has a due on sale clause - if you are maliciously trying to sell a property without paying off the loan, yes, that's Intentional Positive Fraud and you can get cracked on it pretty good. 

I again stepped in and got it done for less than 100 bucks.Example 3: just a couple days ago tenants said water came into the basement, PM said it's a blocked drain.

For example, is it smarter to buy a higher priced condo on the beach, or a lower price condo a few blocks away from the beach?

Im from the city and the neighborhoods change dramatically based on the block so just something to keep in mind.Talking with a RA is a great start in getting more concrete numbers on comps. 

.- Properties are a couple blocks away from our house.  

got under contract for 47,000 in Cedar Rapids but missed a few things first time through. it's on a slope concrete block foundation small kitchen is added on and no foundation at all.floors are not level the floor plan is all wrong it's a 1900 build don't think it had indoor plumbing originally. so total gut job. might add I'm using hard money on this.now the good points it's on a1.13 wooded acres lot, and houses in neighborhood with 1/4 acres lot about same size age etc are listed around 200k. so any one know of a foundation contactor in CR that does that work?

Or would some nice subdivisions still try and block that activity if a lot of guests are coming and going?
