That is to say, even if you live in Hicksville or Ballygobackwards it is possible to do great deals locally, it just takes a commitment and I'm specifically referring to continental USA which is a truly unique and wondrous property market.Not only this, but the more rural areas seem to deliver the more consistently profitable opportunities with much less competition whereas the trending and higher population centers are much more expensive with very competitive margins and therefore a higher risk. 

If a neighbor used your house as an excuse to use mismatched colors, then the HOA's logic would dictate that other neighbors will too - they just want to prevent a trend in the neighborhood so that everyone doesn't start putting mismatched doors on their homes. 

But I have noted a trend on their first impression comments that hit me in the gut every time I hear them.  

Anything sells at the right price...especially now that were in an up trending market Remember to get an inspection period in your contract. so there will be nothing to lose.

$500K would do it if its class A properties in areas with strong long-term demographic trends.

You have to factor in vandalism, squatter, eviction, market trend, foreclosure, local authority citation, legal & HOA expenses to make it work.For too often, I see people bid up the property due to emotion instead of reality.

I know a lot of investors do very well in the city, but the demographic trends aren't nearly as promising as Owings Mills.

Again please keep in mind I am not familiar w your local market trends and have no idea about the neighborhood  who are referring to so please do your due diligence and speak to local investors and PM's.Good Luck

Some people like to follow new construction trends.  

My question is how to structure a loan on the new purchase while trying to sell my current primary residence.I've heard of the old school bridge loans; what is the trend today?
