@Megan Greathouse I will be moving to Thousand Oaks, CA with my girlfriend and we will be attending school and living at home for a while so I can pocket most of the monthly BAH payment from the Post 9/11 GI Bill.

But with smaller chips to play with and less than an hour drive Jersey gets the job done.

Showed that some work was needed (at least some concrete that seemed chipped, a boarded window).It's the inside that is always the surprise; when you get those photos, then we can offer better opinions :cool:

just so I'm clear on what happened because I'm in this situation right now , I made an accepted offer of 85k both units are leased on the duplex in Oak Park Michigan a Suburb of detroit.

@Mike Scott-Smith @Ayodeji Kuponiyi @Sameer Raina @Chip Whiteside Thanks for the input.  

If you see a condo with no inside washer and dryer and oak cabinets there is a good chance that the building was originally an apartment building.

West Oak Lane - 19126/191382.

Chip and Joanna Gaines are worth about $20M now I believe.

It takes a large amount of long term dedication...slowly chipping away until you establish yourself and breakthrough with a successful business. 

turn around and resale tough.But many of the folks on BP are new to this business starting their first funds etc etc and the investors are making their first investment... so its good to put a little reality in this instead of blue sky like these are some kind of blue chip investment that they just make and they are going to make 30% returns as a passive investor.
