It's a ski town where homes on the street sell for about 1.2 mm - 1.4 mm. 

Unless they were all replaced very very recently, that means they'll require that you underground power lines, tear up and re-pour sidewalks, curbs, and gutters, potential overlay the street, and anything else bordering your property.I've never heard of a "condo conversion planner" but I suppose a good one has experience doing these things and can give you definitive answers.Disclosure: I've never done a condo *conversion*, but have gone through the subdivision and mapping process several times in the City - I don't have direct experience doing what you're describing, so caveat emptor. 

But I know house up the street sold in similar but slightly better condition... and was bought by "cash investor" at 99k plus closing costs.

I’m starting to look at duplexes in my area as I work on fixing my credit score and I hope to get into something by the end of the year or beginning of next year.I look forward to being more active in these forums!

I'm in the process of evaluating Fall River MA, Franklin NH, Skowhegan ME, and the general Southern NH and Southern ME areas as locations on the rise - and am very interested in learning more from investors active in these areas!

@Delshon Chestnut, there are several experienced CPAs who are active participants on ths forum.

All day long people wonder around the street down there because they have no where else to go.

No unfortunately not, if your main source of income is active real estate investing and doing numerous deals per year, then its considered income.

@Damian Williams  I'm also new to the real estate investing world and have found the local REIA (real estate investment association) a good place to begin networking activities (per @Alex Tahnat 's suggestion above).

I've seen rowhouse demos where you could see the interior lath of the neighbor's plaster walls from the street!
