A few blocks away is a booming area with high rise apartments and mixed use developments.

Joel Block has a bi-annual symposium you may consider attending and others like Gene Trowbridge also give multi-day courses on this.

Hopefully I will pull off a few of those in my career :)This 6-plex has very good "eye appeal" for the area and is 1 block from the college in town so it has a very good location.

The free reader version lets you do a lot, i.e. apply scanned signatures without blocking text in the document.

A few blocks over new 2800 sq. ft.

I have concentrated my buying on my own 12 block, 230 home neighborhood. 8 down, 222 to go.Best of luck!

It is on a block where there are all new construction homes and only his old house with the 2 connecting lots.

In addition, code enforcement in most areas doesn't go on patrol looking for these sorts of things; they respond to complaints reported by the neighbors (or maybe the code enforcement official or another gov't worker lives on that block :D ).

So, if you have an inspector look at the property or a plumber clear a drain, they will have to wait several days or a week before they can get paid.

At $100 per month (if they are all leaking) is $1,600 in water down the drain each month.
