It's like saying "Don't get your car serviced by anyone except the dealer." yeah...you've got a car worth $20,000 but that doesn't mean the guy up the street working out of his garage behind his house isn't capable of keeping it in top running condition...even if he's NOT ASE certified.

Located on a quiet all-townhouse street, yet within a few minute's walk of public transportation, shopping, parks and nightlife.

Considering my own business and personal interests, I explored this idea when my wife and I were there this past June, looking through dozens of property listings on the streets and posted in back corners and brokerages.

Property comes with off-street parking to accommodate all units.FINANCINGLooking for both commercial and creative financing options. 

I've done this in a house that did not even have gas service...had it run from the street to the house (no charge) by the local gas utility.

If you are looking for easy street without bleeding on a lot of pavement, this is not the place for you.Ruth, please do not take this as a direct answer to YOUR post.

Overall, we had 8 applicants the first day, and we ended up renting it to a young family that had called first - made 4x the rent, had a kid in the school across the street, and had parents, friends, and other family in the same neighborhood.

She responds back that: " I have lived in this area my whole life and I wouldn't pick to live on that street." 

So when you driving down the street keep an eye open for the small for sale signs.
