One of those citizens one block away has been working to get a drug dealer out of the house across from his house.

This house sits a block away from a Big East University where rents average from 500 to 600 a bedroom or 1000 to 1200 a month.

I won't buy a house that is already built with the rest of the houses on the block having the same floor plan.

They can give you some of the basic knowledge and then it is up to you to put it to use and understand what you have learned.Knowledge is only a building block.

I am still in the process of waiting to close on our first house - got it for $12k - needs about $12k in work.Now we found another house that's in an awesome location - 3 blocks from the best elementary school in town (population 28,000), Assessed at $49k they want $30,900 DOM 4 days.

I won't typically buy farther than 4 blocks from campus unless it's a killer deal.

The problem was that there were 4 or 5 other MLS listings within a few blocks that look like they'll be on the auction block next time around.

One of the companies I have been fairly happy with is in my signature block.

A fairjohnmichael: market value is usually not the price being asked by the owner or realtor.Dan_Auito: CMA's, past sales records, other recent sales on same block, sq/ft prices etcjohnmichael: How do you determine the fair market value?

How ethical is it to know there's a perfect house in the neighborhood a client want/needs and avoid that block just because it's a FSBO and won't pay 6%?
