@Troy S.I have some cash, a shitload of drive, 6 years of construction management experience with a top GC, a year of sales experience with a top Equipment Rental Company, a RE license in MA, a few residential deals under my belt and common sense.

Found a good deal in an up-and-coming neighborhood with solid comps surrounding it.

., here are some things you can do now:-Start driving neighborhoods!

With some fresh paint new counter, and a new bathtub and surround in one of them I think they will get $575/mo each side all day long. 

Totally Agreed today out driving for dollars, any neighborhoods youd say to give a look?

Pros - My PM is fair and honest, makes reasonable decisions, is a decent handyman, builds valuable relationships, is easy to contact, is very cost effective, strong and handsome.Cons - My PM tends to read the news and drink coffee too long in the mornings, takes too long for lunch, randomly stops working in the afternoon, will spend 8 hours working on something that takes a professional two hours, drives a crappy Ford Ranger and buys work clothes at Goodwill and is neither strong nor handsome.

Bought it for $119,000My question is do you think we should hold on to this condo in FH or sell and invest in surrounding areas?

Pick a neighborhood or area, and drive / walk EVERY street.

We shake hands with the sub contractor and are on our way.We drive up the the street but can’t pull onto it because of the amount of cop cars.

You can get a lot of information from just following the MLS and driving by properties.
