Thank you for your reply, however, I live in Charleston, SC and the downtown area is booming and the houses are on one of the streets that are being revitalized.

Well, the subject property was $120,000 less than its closest comparable.When I went through some of the pictures and street view on Google Earth, I noticed that both properties were similarly built, although they may have had different floor plans, but the most important difference was the neighborhood/subdivision.The closest comparable was part of a high-end, gated community on the south side of a "mountain," with a phenomenal view of the ocean.

Location, some federal hill streets are great, some not so much due to proximity to neighboring bad areas.

In the street, on public property?

I'll be converting to natural gas from the street this spring.Any options to get through the winter?

If you can pay off her mortgage and get her son out without throwing him out on the street you are solving a lot of problems for her. 

If you want to buy the property and give half to me you can do all the business you want here in Detroit and I will handle the landlord side.You're my kind of friend-I don't even need the place to stay to get me off the street.

Bandit signs almost always pull, even when the street corners are littered with them.
