The house was in very good shape overall in a very desirable area of east Morris County NJ. 

Hello everyone,Is it normal for a 100 years old house have the middle of the floor pop up?

It's now January 2017 and I consider the following my accomplishments to date:I completed one private lending deal (where I lent money to another investor).I completed one small direct mail campaign and I'm in the middle of a much larger one.  

I would prob stay away from investing in the "east side" especially for buy and hold, as it is not the up and coming part of town.  

., I see that you're in California, and without knowing how familiar you are with the Greater Toronto Area real estate market, I'll just suggest that you speak with a few Brokers and look for:- Many years in the business;- Several indicators that they are not "typical" Agents; and- An online presence which shows you that they have nothing to hide, and many people are happy to say good things about them.Please look me up on LinkedIn, and if you'd like to chat, message me through BP, or call me on my cell: 416 - nine nine three - 8199.Oh, and I've spent most of my life in Toronto, lived in Markham for more than 20 years, and now live in East York (on the border of Scarborough) with many active clients in Scarborough.Regards,Claude Boiron

All data I have seen is the opposite in that low to middle income people are leaving faster than they are coming but the opposite is true in higher income levels.

I am in the middle of analyzing a corner property investment opportunity in Brooklyn, NY. 

I was thinking meet in the middle and have the appraisal Friday the 10th, that gives them 18 days to do the rest.

Advice based on success and failures, a great free lesson for all BPers.With all factors considered, is there a middle ground that can be negotiated here to make a deal out of the given scenario?
