I wonder if a leak was blocked and another popped up.

There are some nice neighborhoods with well taken care of homes, but then you could drive down 2 blocks and be in a real bad neighborhood.  

The first time I put up a mirror I cut a couple blocks to put under the mirror, got the "mirror glue" from Home Depot and waited about 3 hrs for it to dry.

Is it the best property on the block?

BTown is a block by block neighborhood.

I have a potential lead for a home located a block from Bossen field in South Minneapolis.

It is paid for and is one block from the beach at an elevation of only 17 feet above sea level.  

If you were to live in it as your primary residence first, and then turn it into an investment later, you would need to make sure that it is permanently affixed to its foundation (ex. bolted down, not just strapped down or sitting on cinder blocks).

Was a complete tear off replaced with new plywood and 30 year shingles.Property 1 we just replaced the sewer lines bc it was blocking up on the old terracotta pipes underground.Property 2 we replaced roof within the last 5 years.

I found a duplex on a "block" that is actually a pretty cool block. ....I put a renter in the other side of the duplex.....one that I personally screened....she covers most of the mortgage payment.I bought in August of 2016 and within the next year or so there should be enough equity in the duplex where I can refi out of it....and buy another place and still not have to pay PMI because I will be able to use the VA Loan again.Now, if you are wondering how can I get a tenant that would want to live in The Hood and be, not a good tenant but a GREAT tenant?....
