During my due diligence, I contacted a property manager of a building down the street from the building I made an offer to get an idea of rental comps in the area.

Electricians are concerned about running lines from street to panels (in this pipe) that can handle each panel being upgraded to 100amp.

I like the idea of being conservative, but I also like to pick dollar bills up when I see them laying on the street instead of assuming that someone else from the market of potential "picker-uppers" has already snatched the money!

All of Wall Street is getting bailed out by the taxpayer.

Investors' behavioral "herding instinct" seeks reassurance from the analysts of Wall Street that we indeed possess wisdom, and we search to find our thoughts confirmed in The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week and Forbes.

That Alpha Male, king of the world, Wall street mentality is what got us here.

I bought a 3 family with bullet holes in a window...the house was shot at in December, I purchased in April as an reo in June...I didn't even know it was shot at until after I bought it, but I got such a good deal even if I knew about it, I still would have bought it...all the neighbors informed me about the incident and were so glad the targets were gone...believe it or not this is a nice area 2 blocks to the ocean...ive owned this house for a year and a half now and have since bought 6 more units all on this street, no more shootings since the gangbangers left that street

I will share if you don't mind on your thread.I was doing a flip rehab across the street from a very entertaining rental.

But there were two REO properties sold for $140k just accross the street facing the property I am buying but condition is not as good as the property I am buying.I am also planing to add and deck in the back yard that might cost $4-$5k.Any advise please, It's the first time I am doing it.

After spending almost every day in my target areas, getting to know the streets and neighborhoods, and chatting up anyone in a 5 foot radius, I have made some progress!
