I knew my purpose in life wasn’t delivering pizzas, manning a drive-through window, or working in a warehouse—these were just stepping stones along the journey.

Most of the communities in those areas are pretty safe and the amenities are good. 

I have discovered that I am having issues with taking action so I decided to write a post to hopefully get some encouragement from the community to drive me to take action with some advice!

The repairs consisted of some dry rot on the chimney sidings and to have the electrical panel looked at by a license electrician to determine whether it's safe since the inspection report found "charred wires".  

@Angela Palchowski, one more ancillary reason for a seller or their agent to be present at inspections is to make sure the inspector does his work safely and does not damage the property. 

I was driving by a property and noticed that it was very rundown.

Is Hillcrest a good and safe area for cash flow (zip code 05)? 

I drive pass there about every day and have yet to see anyone utilizing the park. 

Try driving for dollars.

A great buyers agent will be able to help you fine tune your strategy, highlight market trends, knows where and what to look for, hook you up with the best lenders, inspectors, contractors, etc, get you the full background on a property and the sellers, knows how a particular property compares to other deals and what a great deal looks like, identify untypical risks and knows what to look for before you waste time and money on an offer & homeinspection just to cancel the deal later, get the lowest possible offer accepted, oversee the transaction and handle all the paperwork, including title work and appraisal, knows how to approach a short sale differently from a REO, negotiate inspections and repairs successfully and help you make more money, safes you time and lower your risk every step of the way.Sounds like you signed with someone who provides value by knowing lockbox numbers?
