Between the comps from my realtor and the desktop appraisal, the hopeful selling price is $120K The house next door which is identical sold for $120 in late November with a 15 year old kitchen.

Hammond took the money and left, and the tenant never heard from him afterward.It was only later that the tenant learned that the home being "rented" had been foreclosed on and wasn't supposed to be occupied to begin with.Police say Hammond committed a similar deception on Feb. 8, when he took a total of $1,110 in so-called "rent" from two victims who thought they were renting a home in the 5300 block of Rollingwood Trail, near Newcut Rd.That was also a foreclosed home -- and the "tenants" were unable to find Hammond to get their money back.Hammond was arrested yesterday afternoon and charged with one count of burglary and three counts of theft by deception."

If you know what to do with the property and you don't pay a premium because of the location, you can raise income in time more than a property in a poor location.Assume identical buildings, one in a war zone the other in a great location.

But are you prepared to deal with consistent break ins, copper theft, broken windows, and vandalism?

I apologize but for some reason cant delete the second (identical) one...Sorry to hog so much space!

Verify the identity of the previous PM (reverse phone number lookup, Internet search, etc), call them, and ask as many questions as you can before they hang up on you.Most importantly, you want to know if they stayed current on their rent, if there were any complaints about them, and whether they left the property in good condition.

There are two almost identical comps that both just went under contract and one had new windows and one had the original ones - so no help there.My real question is, since I'm nearing the end of the project and I'm very close to reaching my budget to I push it a little for the windows and will I get my money back on new ones?

Displaying which groups someone is part of on their profile kind of becomes part of their identity on LI.

I would just add something like "not responsible for damage to structure caused by acts of God, theft, vandalism, etc."

thanks for the replies (for some reason i did not get a notification of these replies, that's why i am just following up).vonville, these two houses are identical. in fact, all the houses in that sub are identitical, cookie cutter type houses (lot, sq. footage, age, rooms, etc, etc.)
