I want to use every method starting out but by no means would I want to waste my time doing a task that will not lead to any new business or calls from city officials.Thanks!

Walls were fairly dingy, baseboards pretty ragged, etc.  

This makes it very secure [more than wall street] for them.All of my lenders enjoy strong double digit annual returns and only spend a few hours a year [making wire transfers] to realize this profit.Yes, I am biased when it comes to RE or Wall Street - but ponder this and you'll see why:  We all know bankers are some of the most penny pinching individuals on the planet, right?  

I would not waste my time, I would move on and get something you know you can lock in.

Just make sure the wall assembly is approved by the city.

My strategy involves purchasing a multi-family property within an hour of my job (Wall, NJ).

It needs to blend well with the house interior style and wall color so home will sell later.

Worked in O&G for Noble, saw the writing on the wall and went back to health care IT.

Mold inside the walls has been removed and the house was treated for cockroach infestations at their worst in areas that have been made wet from leaks.

Someone also mentioned they knew of someone else having a crane lift the existing trusses and roof and just adding block around exterior walls to raise height and then redo interior walls.
