The crime is not ideal in this area but not at the point where my wife and kids have ever felt threatened walking down the streets at night but again, something that I will definitely look deeper into.As you mentioned this is the MLS listing and the numbers that I ran were for th asking price,   All of the valuable insight that you have affected really gives me the info needed to either walk away or make the appropriate bid on the property.Thank you sooooooo much for taking all of the time and effort that you put into this eval, I can’t begin to express how much it means to my wife and I.Thanks again,Tim

We're becoming quite a popular tourist destination and I would like to invest in a condo that my husband and I would manage ourselves as locals, with the hope of one day having a beach condo paid for that we can move to when the kid is grown and we're retired, and then rent out our 3br home as a LTR for extra income.

The turn key property is renovated- fixed up- where as the appraiser my compare it to a dump down the street. 

Cozy or Smartmove are the most popular on BP....pass the cost to the applicants and have them pay direct

A friend of mine lives down the street and knew that the owner had moved out of state and had this house rented.

Prior to moving to Columbus in 2008, I consisting visited my county court house every afternoon (I worked across the street ) to review the days foreclosure filings.

Had I not driven there to see a property that I've made a loan on, I would have not appreciated the overlooked tree-lined streets of this foothill community.I'm not currently running any direct marketing campaigns so I'm not pulling data to create property lists.  

Also, it would be vital to what products and schemes are popular at the current moment among investors.

The neighborhood is a multi-ethnic neighborhood, so there isn't a typical look, other than the fact that they don't look like little skinny white dudes with tattoos running all over their bodies and weigh 110 lbs and the fact that they have witnessed the drug deals occurring right on the street in front of their houses. 

Maybe put a small planter at the corner of the street/sidewalk area with a corner split rail fence just to accent the corner, front door with a window at least on top.
