Especially when you are investing from out of state.Good middle class B neighborhoods today are pretty likely to be C neighborhoods in 10-15 years.In my market homes that were built in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's can be bought for around $100,000-$130,000.The problem is people that are buying these older homes in that price range are just scraping by.

He actually said much less than that but I doubled it + The pics weren't bad----just very outdated.I am working virtually on this so I guess I'd be best to have a contractor go out and give an estimate.

the lady wants to sell her house so she can move out of state to take care of her parents. she has a mortgage in place for 175000 from 2005. her payments are 1800 a month which is about 21600 a year and 108000 paid on the mortgage over the 5 year period if you assume payments started in january. that leave 67000 left on the mortgage. her homes value is now between 214000 and 250000 after running comps. not many in the area. house is beautiful on 2.7 acres and tons of pics on zillow and having more emailed to me. sh said it was recently done over. how can i structure the deal so she can walk away from the closing table with money in her pocket so she can move by august?

Also tell them about the home, send pics, answer any questions they have.  

Either price is too high for what it is, or has bad pics or bad description or not enough showing availability.How many showings are being scheduled?

How about putting up a pic? 

Our contractor stole from us, craftsmanship is TERRIBLE (lots of pics to prove it), he basically robbed Peter to pay Paul.

I keep sending them pics of the repairs and the new electric griddle I am bringing to the house next week.

Great story, and the after pics are great!
