I grew up in Pikesville...right down the street from you...

UGLY.horrible paint job overallno heating system. gas heater was taken out (which makes me wonder, because it's not foreclosed)I have not yet had the inspection done but I have an AWESOME inspector who will rip this place apart (figuratively) if I tell him to give me every detail to deduct from the selling price.A little about me:1. was just approved for a $15K line of credit I was going to use as a reserve to pay for updates and appliances (I want to pay most out of pocket though)2. 5K to put down.3. another property I want on the same street is 9,000, needs about 25k in repairs, but is really nice, but one family.

Also, you don't just turn off the utilities, but have them terminated at the street.

There is a second driveway that comes off the side street that leads to a two car garage.

Of course, you always want to visit the particular street in question to investigate in person.There is actually still some retail activity going on in the Belview Heights area, although not as much as during the boom of course.

There have been a number of foreclosures and short sales on my street which has driven my immediate comps down, but I'm pretty sure I have the largest, or one of the three largest homes in our ~35 unit subdivision (built behind an older/established neighborhood).

According to an article titled, “Workers Saving Too Little to Retire” by the Wall Street Journal, 10,000 people are turning 60 every day and 57% of US workers surveyed, report less than $25,000 in household savings.

We bought two houses, side by side, on a street in a developing area.

So property is in fact just some old rinky dink auto mechanic shop with a narrow parking lot facing a busy street.

Then if not paid, foreclose on the house.Then they will be removed (everyone) and any entry on the property (including street) is trespass.
