Virtually all basements are going to have water concerns, whether from high water table, moisture attempting to move from soil to concrete/concrete block to air, actual infiltration from walls, etc.

As someone described there are mesh products you can use to block off that vent... and handyman can easily do it fairly cheap.

Must be within 2 blocks of the beach and for $300,000 or less. 

I'm OK with having a family with a few kids (6 people is pushing the limit, but a number of families on our block have 3 kids in the same size home and it's fine). 

My properties are in 4 states and we do fine, but I am learning that MTRs can really pay off if you put time into building relationships with placement agencies so it's a pain to have to do that in many markets.

If the property was a pain in your butt next time research the 1031.

Thanks,Nate  getting a partial lien release when splitting lots is painful and frustrating.They will most likely do their own appraisal as they will want to make sure the one property still has significant coverage / equity in it.

its a big pain in the butt to coordinate showings with tenants and you dont want to burn out or piss your tenants off by inconveniencing them with potential buyers who maybe just kicking tires..

Colorado Springs, for example, does both, but if you show another agent's listing(s), who are required to use Supra, then it will be a total pain in the arse to show get into these properties unless combo boxes are allowed.Good luck with it.

It is a rougher area, but some blocks are better than others.
