@Robert Williams , I agree that the square footage could be off but if I do use it as a metric, I try to use the public records # because at least the tax assessor is using the same methodology (in theory).

@Blake Williams welcome to the site.

@Levon Williams welcome to the site.I would consult a Realtor have them provide comps and then work with you as your buyers agent later to submit the offer.Take the comps along with your repair bid to your private lender and if he likes the deal then he should be able to provide a POF or pre approval letter for you to present with your offer to buy,

Hey @William Perry - it sounds like you're on the right track, and the 0.95% you're earning is quite good for a general savings/checking account with the ability to withdraw at any time.  

I also know MaCalester College, William Michell Law school are close-by (within 10mins) so depending on how strongly your lease and property management is, I think you will do just fine.So what I'm saying is you may be able to get Professors, College Staff or FT grad school hopefully - avoiding discrimination obviously.I also lived in a duplex in NE Mpls (Columbia Heights) and it was quiet (long winter - kids came out in summer to play on the quiet streets) but very close to Central Ave.  

Look up William Robison. 

I'm a real estate agent with the Keller Williams office in Lincoln,NE.

I'm focusing on southern fairfax and Prince William counties as most of Fairfax is way too expensive.  

@Ajay Williams , I think it depends on how far from San Pedro it is and how close to the beach.
