I'm currently looking at a property where the owner was charged a $5000 assessment for curb and gutter on a corner lot last year and now he's in the hole and is looking to sell.

If I were out in that side of the country, I'd jump at the chance to get coffee (I've never been a coffee fan, but I'm forcing myself to like it and get addicted, to curb my addiction of Peppermint Hot Chocolates from Starbucks... it's bad!)

If you put 2 marbles or just a pencil or even two small dice in the envelope, when the seller feels the envelope it will certainly stand out and boost curiosity.  

Its apparent that this area is having tremendous growth right now and there have already been several more approved projects to boost up the property values in the coming years. 

These areas are well serviced by trains and are getting a big boost from a steadily growing NYC. 

All are in the same subdivision, same age, similar curb appeal, all are 4/2/2, and the possible comps have comparable finish outs to what the subject house will have once it's rehabbed...hopefully by me.

Most women would kick him to the curb. =)          I recall finding an off market multiplex for an investor when I first got into real estate about 15 years ago.

That said, if I had to choose, I will often do the exterior first, for a couple reasons: - I want to ensure that the exterior is not compromised, which can allow water/rodents/etc to hurt the inside; - I want to begin to build curb appeal to create buzz in the neighborhood and start attracting potential buyers. 2.

Have owned a corporation for a few years, excellent credit all around.No problems at all, just looking to continue to boost my credit worthiness in case I need a LOC or similar.My company has a DUNS number, but I don't know if anything is reported on it.1) Does a DUNS # do anything2) Is D&B legitimate, or just a scam?

All owned by speculators each boosting the sales prices.
