Why not a $300 brand new mower? 

What Brand do you use? 

Not a brand new member, but active now after leaving the account unused for a bit.

I, too, am brand new to this side of investing but am eager to learn as much as I can from the awesome people here.

Space savings, does not have to run as much to keep water hot while not in use, so there is some gas / electric savings and they tend to last a little longer than hot water heaters. they are a little more in cost to install. i do not have any in my rental properties but have one in my personal home and i like them. make sure it is sized for the amount of bathrooms and kitchen it is feeding. mine feeds 3 bathrooms and a kitchen and does just fine - brand is Takagi. 

Hello,My name is Angelo Blakey, Me and my wife are both brand new to real estate investing, and we are both still in the research phase as far as market analysis, property analysis, building a team, etc.

Your still building a brand either way.

I put in Hammond 50k properties and ten popped up for Trulia and Zillow with pics and addresses.Looks like rougher areas for sure and older properties.If you were to buy this property then you need to plan for taxes to hit 1,000 or higher eventually with re-assessments.Personally  I do not like these areas or properties.You could be better off investing that cash building out a brand new construction house in a new subdivision in phase zero to one of development.

I've targeted Phillipsburg - not the best area but there are nice areas and the town is finishing a brand new high school.

If you know you costs eg. demolition/repair, financing costs, selling costs, contingency, professional fees, permits, etc. and you know what you call sell the home for brand new based on comps then you can calculate the residual value.
