All,

Here are the numbers.

I am purchasing a duplex that is in the middle of construction for 525k in Va. Work on the project stopped 2 years ago when the market crashed. It will take 300k to finish for a total inv...

I have had 3 rentals in the past that I had the luxury of paying cash for but am not positive on the typical requirements for a private lender.

It is a bedroom community for Birmingham, plus local jobs in retail, fast food, lodging and health care.

Some clogged drains come from solids lodging on pipe defects like off set joints, roots, or bellies in the line.

I would look at all types of construction types (luxury,tract, Townes, ect).

Great lunch got to the street we wanted and on on side brand new luxury homes, on the other vacant lots with great views. 

Thanks,JustinHey Justin,I'm in a pretty similar position in terms of finding an area where the numbers make sense without sacrificing the luxury of being close to the city.If convenience to Grand Central is your primary concern, heading north along one of the Metro North lines might be your best option. 

There is a definite difference between a luxury house and a place you're going to turn into a rental.
