Hello everyone,My name is Daniel and I'm brand new to this world of real estate investments.

Floors were redone, obviously a fresh paint job, and I'm sure there were a zillion little things fixed/improved. 3) The buyer was also using traditional mortgage financing.

Sounds like you're doing a lot to build your brand!

Brand new 700 dollar wedding dresses, Prom Dresses, a utility truck and a merlin phone system.

I, too, am brand new to this side of investing but am eager to learn as much as I can from the awesome people here.

Space savings, does not have to run as much to keep water hot while not in use, so there is some gas / electric savings and they tend to last a little longer than hot water heaters. they are a little more in cost to install. i do not have any in my rental properties but have one in my personal home and i like them. make sure it is sized for the amount of bathrooms and kitchen it is feeding. mine feeds 3 bathrooms and a kitchen and does just fine - brand is Takagi. 

Hello,My name is Angelo Blakey, Me and my wife are both brand new to real estate investing, and we are both still in the research phase as far as market analysis, property analysis, building a team, etc.

Your still building a brand either way.

I put in Hammond 50k properties and ten popped up for Trulia and Zillow with pics and addresses.Looks like rougher areas for sure and older properties.If you were to buy this property then you need to plan for taxes to hit 1,000 or higher eventually with re-assessments.Personally  I do not like these areas or properties.You could be better off investing that cash building out a brand new construction house in a new subdivision in phase zero to one of development.
