what to do with it? have seen homes on similar size lots go for around 150k. the land is just sitting there for several years going on decades. the shrubs seem to be well on their way into growing into trees; is there...

I hear they've turned some of the old factories and warehouses into condos and offices and cleaned up the park along the canal.There use to be some rough spots (by the old silos) when I lived in MTL ... but that was a long time ago (before your time).

Right now I'm doing due diligence on a mobile home park out in Ponca City.

Local banks will be able to do more for you then a national will when it comes to negotiating terms and working with your situation.

Can anyone recommend a realtor in the Elmwood Park/Garfield part of NJ?

They lend nationally and I have used them in past for flips.Leslie

I agree that most of the material learned from the book just gives you a general idea of the do's and dont's.My office is located in Orland Park but I live in the north side of the city.

Existing tenats lease is up , my proptery is in oak park Michigan , should I just renew their lease or should they go through the screening process 

Near Gannon, there are many restaurants in old 1800's buildings, a city park that hosts special events, a convention center with flagship architecture, a community playhouse that performs Broadway plays, the Warner Theater which hosts various performers and the Erie Philharmonic Orchestra, an art museum, a civic center that is home to the Erie Otters (ice hockey) among many other events, a ball field that is home to the Erie Seawolves (minor league team), and a Starbucks on 5th and State St.

The two that me and my partner bought during the peak, we bought 6 years ago was 2 houses in highland park.
