The lot is only a .25 acre but large enough for the structure and good size yard. we are using a builder to complete the duplex up to wall texture, then we are taking over (this is fine with our bank financing).

It's also about 10 or 15 minutes away from the forthcoming $4 billion hydrogen plant that was announced a few months ago. 

I am a botanist at heart so plants are my thing, especially the edible kind.

Bigger Pockets planted the seed and I watered it by diving into BP the way I did with DIY.Skipping ahead again, I realized that having those rehab skills and a license could make me a great partner for someone.

As an example, there are 5-8 unit buildings available for under $30K - $60K per unit in Saint John (perhaps even a few still in Moncton), however many are older building stock which has not been upgraded/improved, with common heating plants (or the landlord is carrying utilities to attract tenants), whose operating expense ratio are 70%+.  

If a market "norm" is worn-out carpets so filthy you could plant seed and garden in the living room, are you going to do that?

My wife works at the building every day watering plants and cleaning and we saw this tenant only one time back in about 2003 when we remodeled his apartment.When you take money in advance you need to have a good accounting system where you manage the money properly so you don't get caught not having enough money to pay the mortgage.I'm currently sending the 3rd and 4th of my children to college in other states the end of this week.

Y'all are going to benefit a ton from the Blue Oval plant.

I have lived in Pittsburgh since 2007 and I have planted my family here, a great area to live and invest in real property.Those returns are definitely possible in Pittsburgh, if you would like to learn more about investing in Pittsburgh I would be happy to have a call with you.

Go to Home Depot and put a potted plant in the back.
