Another full duplex sold same block a few houses down 117k during the due diligence phase.

  :)  In Minnesota, if people still have block heaters on their cars, that might be another use.

My houses on this block used to be the two best--and they were pretty bad at first.

Real estate 101 tells us to buy the ugliest house on the block.

Block frame or wood frame?

BP keeps blocking me from posting it for some reason.Go to Google and search "learn to be rich spreadsheet" and you'll find what I'm using.

Find out what type people are going in and out of the house, stay on the street and see if you see anything suspicious, drive a few blocks around the house you're interested in so you get a feel for the area.

OK, well reducing noise means blocking, canceling, or attenuating sound waves.

The entire property is fenced/gated (6' block wall and then a gate, and then another fenced area inside of that area separating the front house from the back houses).

It’s a 2-unit property a couples blocks from UOP that I’m planning on house hacking.
