The criminals could care less and do not have a conscious.

I am a researcher with my Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology.

Unless your buyer is quite environmentally conscious i expect that they would want to buy the best looking house they can get which includes a great front yard.

I'm passionate about all things ecological, sustainable, green, solar, etcetera.

I get the people who are willing to pay more for a nicer place, which means they want to keep it nice because they've made a conscious decision to spend more of their money to have that.

You will be paying market price for the place at best (which if that is your MO then that is fine but you need to consciously know you are buying it at market value).2) Comparables are 192K means that you would be buying at 114.6% of market value.

Miami, with its unique ecological situation, is in this category.Some cities have no raw land, so they must build up.

This has definitely helped.I had to make a conscious decision to work while I flipped houses initially until I really got my business off the ground.

I have found in order to have the right contractors and to have a happy medium that we have to be conscious of all of the things I mentioned before.I don't take on jobs where the investor provides materials.  

These lenders are more sophisticated in dealing with investors, as they've consciously decided to follow Fannie's 10-property limit, unlike most secondary market lenders that apply a 4-property limits.
