Ideally, in the last few months.

I am just curious....I do understand what you mean...I guess its more of a personal investment as oppossed to a financial investment...I do sleep better at night though and the mortgage/rent money is freed up so I can make other investments...Ideally I should have bought a couple homes here in Ca. several years ago and I would have had alot of equity which I could have leveraged..I need to get myself a crystal ball :woohoo:

I have decided that I'm priced out from buying where my girlfriend and I would ideally like to live (Astoria, Queens) and considering other markets.

That 24K does not included any fixed costs which will drive your profit lower.Deal is too slim for me, but any profit is a success if it is not a major headache.I will partner with contractors to do deal, but the numbers have to work for everyone at least a 20K split is more ideal for me.

I am trying to get all the data I can so that I can guard myself against falling for confirmation bias, then, once I pick my ideal market, I will take my next steps.

Avg sale price for comps is 49k with a high of 90k and this from only 4 homes ( on one website).Taxes est at 6k, plus bank I deal with does not do contstruction loans on non owner occupied.Rent would be in the 600-650 range.

Is it ideal, no.

Hey all,Can anybody recommend a realtor in Du Page county (ideally one who is familiar with Bartlett and surrounding towns)?

So for my example above the best offer I would make would be $14,500.00 Ideally you want a better fee than $2k but there is not a lot of room on this deal.

I lost 15 lbs and my ideal weight for my height is now 10 lbs away, but that is like peanuts compared to your 55lb.
