They didn’t use a comp 2 short blocks away that sold for 175k with a more similar lot with a large garage.

Especially if you plan to owner occupy.P.S. when running a background check, make sure to look at real property for prospective tenants, the previous owner thought that is was odd they owned property a few blocks away(a duplex).

I focus mostly on ocean front, bay front, and sometimes a block or so to the water for year round vacation rentals. 

I'm also a noobie from Baltimore, but my new member introduction was blocked (yeah, I'm working on it).

The last one was a single family home & took a week & $2200 in materials as a lot of the cast iron barely functional drains were also replaced. 

They will drain you.If you have any questions, or if you need someone to vent to, PM me. 

Riverside/5 points had some areas that did get flooding but the majority of properties were fine because they are set back at least a few blocks from the water.

I also live in Denver and purchased about 5 blocks north from Denver's largest park and am relatively close to downtown and the fun areas.

Indy can widely differ block by block, street by street. 

Prices change very quickly block to block (I assume you know this as you're from Ypsi).
