These two properties are a block apart in an area that is steadily gentrifying.

I rented out 2 bedrooms 1 bath for $1,300/mn, as it is a 3 bedroom but blocked it off to be able to do the bathroom addition.

3) The lot is mid-block with only 50' of street-frontage. 

I ended up buying a different property two blocks away.  

I read "guarantees" - for me that is the biggest scam ever and right then and there either hang up the phone or delete and block the email. anytime anyone guarantees anything run and run fast.

To get a rough ballpark, sure, but sometimes you'll be way, way off like we've seen with the iBuyers who it turns out were too smart for their own good and ended up buying high and selling low due to to relying on data and not actual organic, boots on the ground experience pulling accurate comps like an appraiser or realtor who knows the market on not just a block by block or street by street but a house by house level.

Purchase price: $232,500 Cash invested: $45,000 Beautiful fully renovated Shore Acres 2/1.This house really stands out on the block with the new bright paint scheme!

As an update from my end, since my concrete block walls were knocked down in Hurricane Ian, today I finally found out that new block was delivered put back up and the Tie-Beam is being formed to be poured.

You can go from nice homes to very poorly maintained homes in a few blocks!
