I need to make some calls to verify this info though as it has been a couple years since I had access to this info directly.The lender I was at did not block credit reporting for repayment plans.

It will depend on your state laws (I live in Texas).Basically, if a piece of land is accessible ONLY BY using a neighboring property, via side trail or along a fence line...then this access is YOUR access to your land.That property owner can not block you from crossing his land to get to yours.

You just have to be willing to take what people (other than you) think it is worth.I had to make similar decisions on a rental last year, when the block it was on turned the wrong way, and I couldn't rent a unit, no matter what I did.

My company locked up an investment home 3 blocks from my house for $75K and it is much larger than my house.

I'm also glad to see another Sub'r on the block.

I always try to be the cheapest and nicest home on the block to garner a quick sale.

In case I have to put out an additional sum I am looking for some range guidance.The house was built in 1977 and is only 24X40 (960 sq ft) with a small crawlspace underneath (about 2-3 feet) on cement block foundation.

I went a few blocks and it doesn't get much better.

Other areas have two or three houses for sale on every block.

Its is also a couple blocks away from a minority college.
