@Zachary Elliott started it on the first Thursday of every month.

I plan to live in this property and ride the equity wave while paying down the principal.

If not, keep buying up the rest of Richmond and you likely won't be upset about "missing out" on the Manchester wave.  

@Elliott ElkhouryYes I’m in Illinois and I would have to disclose that I am an agent with interest in the propertyBut they had a flipper offer $15k when fair market is at minimum $36k so I would still be helping them no matter what I do

In my free time, I am a dirt bike riding, wave catching, all around adventure chick.

We are in a boom economy right now and it will not stay this way forever so if I were you (and I was 26 years ago) I would work as much as you can and earn all you can right now and ride this wave (which I did) so you can do whatever you want whenever you want in the future (like I do now).

Gentrification is going on and I believe most of the new wave construction is fueled by the influx of aerospace/space dollars pumping in from the private sector and DoD.

This is where the next wave of idiots are going to come from.

All units are cleaned well and some updates have been made to paint, flooring, bathroom fixtures, and 4 new windows.Here are the negatives: No central heating or air, built in 1946, the duplex is metered together & costs approximately $150 per month, there are small waves in the flooring in 1 of the bedrooms, no stove or other appliances yet added.My thoughts: Some of the numbers seem too good to be true but at the same time I can't help but see big rehab numbers if I need to get HVAC and ducts installed (this makes me the most nervous).

I waved the financing condition and I'm set to close in under three weeks.
