., 57 So. 3d 226 (Fla. 5th DCA 2011), the Fifth District Court of Appeal concluded that such an ordinance superpriority provision is invalid because it conflicts with a state statute and that the City’s lien accordingly did not have priority over the lien of Wells Fargo’s mortgage that was recorded before the City’s lien was recorded.

Once built, the house would fit in with the neighborhood since many existing houses and parcels violate the current requirements in a similar manner.I visited the zoning clinic and understood the general idea that I need to draw up plans and convince the neighbors and other residents that show up to my appeal hearing.

It's a great visual resource for things such area sales popularity, median sales and more.

I always look at energy versus return.I have friends that are flippers and it is a ton of work and after looking at it years ago it just didn't appeal to me but everyone is different.

We have looked into building and outfitting homes with a Universal Design Aspect (wider doorways, stepless entry/showers, grab bars) all of which can be very aesthetically appealing to the eyes now days with the new manufacturers available.

If you insist on FSBO, then you have to do a "friends and family" marketing strategy; this approach puts a marketing piece on all residences for a radius of several blocks, trying to appeal to somebody with a friend or family member that is looking to live nearby.The second approach is to locate a flat fee listing agent, list on MLS giving the buyer's agent the full 3% commission (saving you 2% or 3% minus flat listing fee).  

So that's another appeal. 

If you buy in the war zone, it might be cheap but it might not even appeal to those on Section 8. 

My quick reading on self-directed IRAs seems to scare me off and I think I wouldn't have the time to manage it nor do the higher fees appeal to me (I believe in low-cost index funds and reasonable rate of return over the long-term). 

@John BlackmanPersonally I'm not a huge fan of the curb appeal and I've spent a lot of time in Austin...where does this fit in locstion wise to downtown ?
