It is also what I factor into my bids as a cost of the job but it can be higher.

Since it's low in the back the contractor bid the project to install an injector pump for the 1bd/1ba detached garage conversion to tie into the adjacent house's system. 

The Fed does NOT seem inclined to reduce them, and all the people saying they'll come down have absolutely no idea when that will actually happen.If, however, you can afford to make the payment indefinitely, then now is a great time to buy because should rates come down, you'll be the only one refinancing that property, instead of being in a bidding war with others who were also waiting for rates to drop.

That doesn't mean all operators are out of the game, but many are due to bid/ask spread differences, interest rates, capital raising issues, leverage, and other issues.Brad Sumrok out of Dallas has a nice conference coming up in August/September timeframe. 

My experience in Ohio (it may be different in your area) is that if the bank brings the forclosure, then they 99% certian to bid on it unless the amount owed is lower than the opening bid. 

We put together $29.7k to bid at an auction and won a single family home for $252k leaving a balance of $222.3k.

Alabama counties don't all designate it the same, but in the largest county, Jefferson, R/S means that no one bid on the property at the tax sale so the property was bid in by the state and then it was ReSold to an investor. 

But there is no visible building on Google Maps, and Xome.com states 0 square feet for the structure.Big red flag: I got it for 16%, the maximum interest rate in an interest rate bid down state.

I will ask my contractor for a completion date when he bids me.

The bidding wars on housing in the treasure valley is also very common.I know this is a lot to digest.
