Homes selling for 150k are 2bed/2bath about 500 sq. feet less than the posted home built in the same time from with same lot size. 

I have a unit that has a "closet" the size of a bedroom.

Considering the neighborhood and size of the house - the two most important factors in the ultimate value of the house - and using comps and my knowledge of the local market, I figure out a "drop-dead" offer, a likely offer, and a "fire sale" offer.

The layout, size and low maintenance of this duplex is really what caught my attention.

So, what would be the best way of going about on getting a loan for amount of €70,000I come back to the states in a week, and was thinking of getting that portion from my local bank, which comes to about $78,000.Should I try to go for a line of credit or something else?

I wonder how they are able to bypass the owner occupant portion of the biding process ?

10k is about the investor purchase price for a large portion of 72114.

Depending on the age of the house, if it has been open for that long, anything copper is probably long gone.Depending on the size (temp) and location of the fire, it is possible that some or all of the brick is compromised. 

The government does not pay a portion of his rent, and you are not under any obligation to reduce his rent amount. 

The most successful I've been is by sending yellow letters in a small "thank you note or wedding invitation" size envelope.
