@Bonnie CerrutiTry neighborhood scout: https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/Any data you look at donfirm the data is within the last year or 18 months and not more than 2.

It’s in an area where OKC demolished some historical black neighborhoods to make room for the health center and interstate, and it’s finally starting to get momentum to rebuild.The house was built in the last 10 years and looks modern, it's in good shape with a small backyard.

If a roof costs $6,000 (probably low, so fill in what you want) and it will last 25 yrs, you need to hold back $20/mo for that roof.  

Lastly I think the seller may have a legitimate complaint against his realtor.

I've been researching Bigger Pockets content since last August and I recently closed my first set of deals.

Listen to Ray Zhang's interview with Steve Trang on Real Estate Disruptors on YT last May or June 2023 approx. 

heres my story been on workers comp for the last year and a half due to spinal fusion surgery.

Appreciation over time over the last 40 years has been around 5% per annum (per FHFA) so, is real estate a good investment?

A last and very important part; I hear investors all the time talk about how hard it is to find good deals in TCM market, even asking "is there any 1% rule properties left" and I just laugh because in the Central MN market the #'s can be epic compared to TCM market and others.

The last thing the Appraiser wants the Property Contact / Seller to do is start a personal conversation with him.
