However there was a comp 3 blocks further from the university that were in the 175-195k range. 

only thing here that is really concerning is the block basement. 

The building in a 2 block radius is going for 99k to 158k.

I grew up here and my husband actually used to live 2 blocks from this location so we are very familiar.

The house is part of a fairly extensive residential development from the 1930’s and has a prime location on the block with private driveway and full attic.

Contractors don't like that either for the inherent fire risk.So unless someone is in the 0.01% financially and really wants to be the cool kid on the block, traditional solar represents a vastly better solution.

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...
