Because I would like to purchase in an area where the houses will most likely appreciate over time, and I can add value through remodeling.In case there were no more viable properties in SL and EP, I have also been looking at Elysian, Angelino Heights, Glassell Park, as well as Mount Washington.

Just took up some commercial carpet that was in the kitchen(yes the kitchen) of a rental I just got and it was glued down to the concrete. 

My dad lived in Mount Pleasant for 16 years and we would visit often.

I have massive experience in this industry; If there is a way to get screwed, glued or tattooed in real estate, I have seen it all, I have been done in by the best (and sad to say, the worst) of this industry.

I've got a good 5 months to educate myself and mount my search before the lease is up on my apartment.Chris, thanks for your suggestion about interviewing a handyman.  

Anyone in/ near Mount Vernon, WA have a recommendation for professional advise setting up a business license?

The property is an early 1900's duplex (one up/one down) in Mount Vernon, WA, within walking distance of the very popular Co-Op and historic downtown.  

Something I read showed these three L.A. neighborhoods from 2016 as the most up and coming: Mount WashingtonSilverlakeLos Felizhttp://www.laweekly.com/news/la-has-some-of-the-ho...

I'm Brandon Johnson, a Mount Pleasant/Summerville native and proud son whose parent served communities of the Low Country.

After listening to enough people on the podcast say get started already, the restlessness is mounting and I am about ready to buy a property.
