Could be a storm drainage on it the lot, easements, creek, river flood plain etc. 

If you were using a plain white quartz countertop, then you can break up the color with your backsplash and try to match it a little bit to your flooring.

Other than that, the system is sick! 

RESI agents have to focus on marketing themselves first and foremost becasue in this market listings are money in the bank plain and simple. 

We are getting more insurance housing requests and families staying nearby the hospital while a loved one is sick than we are nurses asking for singlets.

I'm so sick of dumping money into this place that has underperformed so much.I'd consider a short sale, but my credit would take a hit for over seven years, and I'm likely in too good a financial state to qualify for one.

Competition..However, most investors are not aware of off-market properties..But not any off-market, the undervalued ones.These Deals are gold..Most investors don’t know how to really get them .Some do direct mail , cold calling , chasing people down and begging for deals.And except to get those deals.The Thing is those deals are not on the radar for a reason.And to get those deals, there is a very simple set of requirements that need to be met and systems that have to be implemented .Once you know these requirements and systems, it's just a matter of executing them properly and with consistency..And the undervalued off-market deals will come to you.It really is that easy….I’ve getting off-market properties for over 3 years now without even working to get them.Like 2 years ago I got this off-market deal and it was just a piece of land in the desert .For real .And I took it for 20k.No one I know didn’t make fun of me.They call me stupid .But I trust the requirements and the systems.Now 3 years later this land is worth almost $700.000 ($642k).It's all thanks to the fact that I can find undervalued off-market properties..And no, I start with nothing and zero connections..But that doesn't matter, because you don't need to have the connections, to be a sweet talker or have millions in the bank.If you’re sick of finding deals .Then all you need to have are requirements and systems to get you off-market deals.But please just don’t think that cold calling is the way.It’s sad.I will write another post about the systems and requirements to get those deals.just be open-minded that there are systems to get off-market deals.And that’s why some investors make millions and some don’t .They have step-by-step systems that guarantee getting those deals.Thanks for reading,

Some people will be upset, others confused, and some will just plain never get it because of ego and expectations.

In that sale, the sellers were elderly, sick, uncollectible, and a hefty upfront payment in exchange for a sub 2 would have actually benefited them more than an outright sale (long story).

Talk to a local realtor who works with investors to see if $2600 is realistic for rent and who you'd be marketing to-likely a smaller tenant pool.Most people who rent fall into different categories-those who are just starting out and saving to buy their own home, those who move around and buying doesn't make sense and those who will never buy a home (either can't save the down payment, can't get approved for a mortgage or plain and simple don't want the responsibility of owning a home).
