We were living in a brownstone on the same block with a similar configuration: 2 family with professional space on the ground level and knew that it has commercial value and profit potential.

Typically sheet metal sides and back and in rural to weak suburban mid-block locations. 

Any advice on estate and foreclosures share the wealth . Please and Thanks

This one is listed almost at the same price as a home on the end of the block of similar size and not in shambles. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/810-Woodlawn-Av...

Property looked good today but there definitely needs to be a new septic installation as part of the rehab, and given that I saw traces of people digging into the ground to do testing, the house being on the market for over 200 days, a contract falling through, and a few houses on the block for sale, I’m going to pass on this one.Thanks all, will keep you posted on the next opportunity.

BP is a great resource for learning the basics building blocks of real estate investing.

Some blocks are okay, but me?

I recently found a low priced single family home in a very high rent area, 2 blocks from a major university in a rapidly developing city.  

Hello, I recently discovered BP and am extremely excited by everything I've learned over the last few weeks.I believe I found a low risk opportunity to dip my toe into managing an Airbnb, but I would greatly appreciate a gut check before signing anything.I rent an apartment in a suburb of Chicago (Elmhurst) and found a second apartment (2 bed, 1 bath, 1200sqrft) 2 blocks away.

I believe most people will understand that parking in front of a garage will block entry and exit from said garage.
