On August 13, 2018, another four plex, two miles away closed for $299,000. 

What does that mean how many miles away from the property ?

Condensing a large project in half as a DIY beaver that likes to build his OWN dam is not recommended. 

I would like to get this property for half the price. 

Right now I divide my time half and half between California and Mississippi.

From 500+ miles away.

Hello BP,I'm an active Midwest RE investor who purchased 16 units in Indianapolis in the last year and a half but looking to expand into a new market and have selected Cleveland for the long-term potential of the city for buy & holds in certain areas of town.

Specific to you as a real estate agent, track all miles you drive showing homes and write that off in Sch C P2 box 44A (yes I have that memorized) to the greatest extent your CPA tells you it's lawful to do -- this is one of those magic write-offs that minimizes your tax burden while having zero impact on mortgage qualifying income.

I had used lower priced handyman in the past, at half the price, but sometimes does a terrible job.I used the same plumber for nearly 30 years and he charges me a fixed price, usually around $100.00/visit plus parts for small jobs.

It would be a quit claim deed for the half of the title apparently.
