$300 was probably way too generous but I have a soft spot for a young couple with kiddos that are working hard to make it.I had a HVAC change out on another unit, duct work in attic fell apart on the install and the unit ran all day and night from Friday afternoon until Tuesday when they came back to go in the attic and fix the duct work.  

Guessing on the area and looking at sales in the last month in this area, I see a 0.52 acre lot around the corner of Siggelkow and AB with no city water/sewer that sold for $48K, and then a few in Bass Rd a little further out (Cottage Grove address) for $75K - $100K. 

This is in the Cleveland market, City of Euclid. 1100 soft total.Let me know your thoughts!

Marble is super porous and soft which is why I will never ever use it anywhere because it stains and it scratches.

I'm actually expecting a pretty soft market until the election next year as the upcoming political circus will likely make a lot of people more hesitant to making major purchases.With that being said, I would recommend building a good team and filling up your network.

Any property on the market and had a few price reductions suggest the local market is soft.

This will save you time and essentially, holding costs. (4) I'm not sure if you've considered this but any time spent on entitlements, zoning approvals, etc. just to start construction will have no only soft costs associated with it, but also holding costs from your lender.

Unless you are a creditor, you can't "pull a trimerge soft pull".

I’m trying not to let my soft side get in the way of good business sense and hoping for some guidance on this.The father of the family has newly acquired an SSN so he has limited credit history.

Definitely have some soft spots in the floors to fix, which means ripping everything up and then replacing all of the floors.
