Let me know if I can assist and/or make right anything...please...I know this may not be the best venue to "air laundry", but I am certainly ready and able to do anything I can to help...

Has no damage from Sandy or Irene, but has lots of neglect from past owners from 2001 to today.It's a 3 season only, though they did winterize it many years ago with insulation, forced air heat and A/C, but the septic is not adequate for winter use.I went to the town hall to ask about that, (and this is were I'm not sure what I'm asking or what they're talking about) the last "Perk Test" was in 2000 and measured 16.75", the town won't allow the septic for all year use unless the Perk masseurs at a minimum of 18".I asked about adding a little dirt to the property and there telling me it won't make a difference for the 18" high water line has to be with the original natural dirt so adding won't make a difference.It's a short sale and the banks looking for 550K, the comps for this as a 3 season is about 750K but as a year round residence it would be more like 950K.Any ideas around this 18"?

It's funny... when I was selling new homes, if they did not sell a home in the first 30 days, we used to put small cups of fresh paint in the air ducts to help make the home smell MORE like paint....

I am a newly commissioned Air Force officer who is just starting to look into the world of real estate investment.

I'm originally from New Jersey but am currently stationed in New Mexico as a Pilot for the United States Air Force.

To be rented for November 1st at $825 per month (have tenants already waiting).Capital expenditures planned for 2014: In late March early April I plan to change the siding on the house to vinyl, and in May/June add central air.

As far as the FAR and addition of floors, there is the ability to obtain a transfer of developmental air rights from other developers.

I find the community based, no sales pitch environment of BP to be a wonderful breath of fresh air and a sensible approach to real estate investing.My interest is in owning rentals, be it single family or multi unit.

Its seems like these numbers are just being pulled out of the air in all articles, books, and examples I read like this one.
