Thanks Ali...when deciding where to live, "proximity to The Kettle" probably weighted heavier than it should have. 

Physically removing a person is not allowed as that is technically assault.

The small one needs physical work and the big one needs operational work.  

In the latter, there is far more room for growth in terms of physical space which helps keep property values down.

If it doesn't have any or much equity, you'd be wasting time and more than a dollar trying to buy a pile o' trouble.Go online or physically visit your recorders office and check for liens of record, like mortgages, judgments, back prop taxes or code enforcement. 

The main value is the location (proximity to Cornell University and walking distance to local restaurants and shops).I got a quote to put a modular home on my lot of land at around $194k which would get me 2,000 sqft.

Finally, many of the Chinese like to keep up with each other and would like to out do their friends by buying a bigger house in the proximity of their friends.I would love to hear if I missed anything.

Ok, I have always assumed proximity to a cementary being a huge negative especially with the zombie and vampire cultures nowadays, I mean if there is a zombie apocalypse the residents near cementaries will be first victims.

There are C or even B class assets out there who have low physical vacancy AND economic vacancy, i.e. tenants who do not pay on time.

I hope you didn't knock down any walls, do any physical work on the property, act as the general contractor, or manage the property yourself, as any of those could blow up your IRA per IRS regulations.
