Here in my neck of the woods, conventional homeowners are bidding or offering very high on ugly properties just to finally get into the neighborhood they want to be in.

Retail is approximately equal, Haverhill likely has a slight edge in primary and secondary education, proximity to NH is fundamentally equal, and the age, vintage, and quality of the overall housing stock, I would declare to be neck-and-neck.

I'd suggest taking a look on this site to see who else is in your neck of the woods.  

Up in my neck of the woods I see bad deals at a little over 1% so I don't know if this makes sense based on the information you provided.Also, what are taxes like on it?

It has been observed across the nation in the last 30-50 years that most injuries and deaths caused by earthquakes are caused by things falling on people (not structural collapse).

These are generally pretty low maintenance, but it is a good idea to remove sediment from time to time because it is bad if it builds up in the pipes.For a red neck fix, next time there is moderate to heavy rain forecast, cover the drain with a piece of plastic or tarp in order to intentionally flood the lot.

@Diego Hernandez In my neck of the woods, the last time I cleared a lot (2018) was a flat site, 1000sf house. 

However due to a work related injury, I'm currently on FMLA at my job only receiving 66% of my regular income without tax withholding until at least April 2019.

I'm disable from a back injury and tired of just waiting on a check each month.
