I've read time and again the street a property resides on is one of if not *the* most important factors when valuing a home.Why then, even entertain the deal?

So, with the GOE and the capital that I had saved of my own from hustles I've done to controlling my budget and being frugal, I still did not have enough for a down payment I felt was adequate to give me a mortgage I was comfortable with monthly.

I purchased with it in mind to build a small, low budget house for my dad to live in and maybe rent later.

I'm not losing anything if I get $800, but I'd have to pull back my construction budget some which I'd prefer not to do.  

Hey John,  actually i made several transactions in Detroit under 80K before ARV, cuz of it i thought it possible.i checked a liitle and the south side not what im looking for (high crime rate and under the working class)however, with budget until 120K-150K before ARV, more or less, what areas of working class by north side do you recommend from your experience?

When talking to my mentors they say it is possible to still get a conventional mortgage if you provide them extra information like a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis), an ARV (After repair value) assessment or a repair budget.

The rest of it you can now continue to mail to, if you like, knowing that you have just shaved 10% of the cost of your mailers.Now with that said, if you are not well represented online, then you are wasting a significant chunk of your direct mail budget. 

@Nam Hoang you may want to reach out to a company like water mac or Jerz drains finding honest plumbers that will work on smaller jobs and while providing honest estimates is sometimes a challenge, Ive had both of these companies complete jobs on time and within budget for me on more than one occasion if my regular plumber is tied up on other jobs

It was a fixer upper and still waiting to find out how much work it really needs and if it's within my budget.

If you buy in the right area on the east side of the lake, you can get some of the ski folks in the winter as well.Here is a link that talks about VT Short Term Rental Working Group - https://legislature.vermont.go...More info about possible restrictions - https://www.sevendaysvt.com/ve...What is your budget?
