What makes my mouth water is I have run comps and I am seeing that even on the low end ($120 per sq. ft) this place is comping out at $250k very conservatively!

There was also food (hot dogs, water, cookies, and popcorn) and various booths of information.I spoke to a community advocate about the neighborhood I just bought a duplex in as well as one of the beat cops that walk the area.

Water based finishes dry much faster, and might be an option if speed is important.

There are some things only tenants know but can drastically affect the property value such as parking issues or maybe large pools of water that collect in the yard when it rains.

first thing you need to do is get the owners permission to enter the house. this can be done via email, snail mail or whatever. enter the house either with a key the owner has sent you or break in, provided you have the owners permission. the most important thing here is that the bank my have a vested intrest in the house. if it has been foreclosed on, the bank is the owner and the only owner. banks have been dropping their intrests in houses recently if it doesn;t make sense to hold on to it. when they do this, the usually file a release of lein with the county or register of deeds. if this has happened, the original owner now owns the place and you can buy directly from him. check things out first. good luck
