lets say you spot a deal on the block but there is no running water, gas is shut off, electricity is off …there is no way you can check plumbing, furnace, etc ..some REOs even say “seller will not activate utilities” …I think you could activate utilities in your name …but then how about all the outstanding bills that might hit you ?!

I just recently came back from HAWAI, and seeing the insane prices there and other popular vacation spot prices, $400-600K for acreage and waterfront is not a bad deal.First of all, I had spent the last for few weeks learning how to buy WATERFRONT.and BOY is it complicated: Buffer zones, Buy downs, Easements and Right of Way.

The industry “sweet spot” is a lot rent of $495, he explained, but raising it by another $5 “could mean death.”

You won't see "touch up spots" and you don't have to spend time/money re-doing the whole room.

The residents of the neighborhood know if the MHP is a trouble spot or just older.Good luck.

Despite that, many people with the off-street parking choose to park on the street first (it is free public parking after all), and thus those without off-street parking have a tough time getting a parking spot.

Sweet spot is 50k-100k all-in.

I'm still a little frightened of Nicetown, but perhaps @Mary B. found a sweet spot nearer to Temple.

You don't have a cash box, a safe, a hiding spot in your home, a locked drawer, no place you could put them for safekeeping?

If you have the tenant replace the filter (you provide the filter) you would still have someone in the area that might spot problems (HW heater, busted window, dripping pipe, etc.)
