Another for the neighbors having a birthday party and taking up most of the street parking spots.

Overall we have very little pet damage.   50% have pets.... well look up and down your own street.   

The local police department know this property as drug central and violent domestic disturbances on the regular.

You want someone who knows what to do when there's blood in the street.4) Don't be afraid to walk away from an agent. 

I plan to work for about 13-15 more years before I would like to retire.Single family home, on a street full of other houses that look the exact same/floorplan/layout. $238,000, $5000 to closing.

I would definitely consider a rehab project there but it would heavily depend on the street in grier.

First I loved the area where the property was because it’s upper class across the street from chambers bay where the US open was being held that year and the whole area was very up and coming.

So they say it’s worth $270 cuz Zillow says then you need to be able to say “let’s take a look at some differences between the other houses that are going for $270” or “let’s look at what homes with similar specs are going for right on this street” then walk them through each point.

They almost always opt for "easy street"; which is a steady, reliable (even below market), low hassle,  guaranteed return vs. an unknown return that might be exponentially larger or may require more involvement and thought.  

For example, lets you you purchase a house this year at 1235 Newland Street with an assessed value of $131,000, translating into a yearly or current year tax of $1500.
