I have been really digging deep into the area's statistics and I drive through it every day on my way to work.Last week my business partner and I found what we thought was a great rehab project in the area and in our price range and we went and checked it out with a local agent...well unfortunately, we decided it was too much work for our first deal, so we kept looking.This week I've had my eye on a property but I would really appreciate some experienced guidance first.The property is listed for $51K with 2 beds and 1 bath at nearly 700 sq ft and valued at  $61K.

Finally, the Thomey rule presents an insurmountable problem for a purchaser where the basis for the otherwise valid defense, such as waiver, only arises at the last days of the notice period (or after the cancellation period) when there is no time left to obtain an injunction.In order to address this conflicting authority and to avoid such practical and theoretical problems, the 2013 legislation added language to Minn.
