The success of a person is directly related to the people he surrounds himself with and the books he reads.

Market the heck out of it with ads and bandit signs around the surrounding areas (not use a realtor). 3 months payments – $2,300+$1000 other costsClosing costs - $3,600Sell it for $125,000Profit $15,000After 3 months and it looks like it's not going to happen for a while sell it rent to own.

What are all of the numbers, and look at market time of other condos in the complex as well as the surrounding areas.

I would record the judgment in the county, and surrounding counties on the person.

They need bathtub surrounds, tile on the floors, mirrors, fixtures, texture/paint.

Hey guys and gals of Bigger Pockets I'm a newbie just signed up and everything I work around Upstate NY Albany and surrounding counties.

Michael, thanks for the quick response.Unfortunately, in my surrounding areas, a majority rentals/condos/duplexes are priced based on both cashflow and a higher land value, due to the increase in new builds in the area.I've been looking for units in that price range, but I haven't really seen any on the market that weren't up for auction or such.

OTH, it's not a bad question for a newbie, and to that I would suggest if you are going to be in real estate, become familiar with the surrounding issues (legal contract issues, lending issues, taxation, insurance and RE commissions) that are based on any real estate settlement statement (A HUD-1, for residential is the required form and is a federal document, commercial can be on other settlement statements).

I don't know exactly what everyone considers to be a war zone, but there have been a few murders in the surrounding blocks in the last few months.

If it works out we will purchase the house, renovate it and be able to sell it much cheaper than the surrounding properties, with room for a nice profit.
