I’m a Los Angeles based landscape architect working on creating some small site improvements on a property in 29 Palms just near the Joshua Tree Park.

Just a thought, if they’re clean and everyone gets along, seems like a win win. 

BP is the ultimate real estate investing site around!

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

His name is Jode Allen and I can put you in touch if you PM me here on the site. 

LOL if they did it'd probably crash the site

It is worth considering areas like McKinley Park (right next to Bridgeport and also becoming a Western extension of Chinatown), West Pilsen (still seedy enough to yield an occasional good deal), or Bronzeville (again, pockets of dereliction open up the opportunity to help clean up your own little corner of the neighborhood). 

A “company” that wastes their marketing dollars mailing to houses where title transferred in the last three months and that appear to be active construction sites isn’t one I could see myself sitting down with.

Nice answer Belinda Lopez, now it looks clean in front of the seller.

What should I be looking for when I'm browsing sites such as Realtor.com?
