Because the housing stock is so old in many parts of Pittsburgh mailing this list will get you TONS of calls from people with vacant lots (the house was already torn down) with exorbitant amounts of back taxes and liens - or you'll get calls from people who have houses that NEED to be torn down in addition to the parcel being laden with many encumbrances.

In a closet application it would be unwise to have shelving around those pipes to encourage people to store things and bang them around.

I mention this because among the tree-laden hills and snow-capped peaks of Colorado, Tom Cruise has listed his scenic mountain retreat for $39.5 million.

There is risk in buying to flip now, since inventory isn't exactly flying off the shelves (this is already a place where properties are usually on the market for a while before being sold even in normal times) and we might have to sit on a renovated apartment for a while, but we think the reward is well-worth the risk.

Consider installing pull-out shelves, lazy susans, and cabinet organizers to maximize your storage space.

With this in mind be careful buying in a strong market there, because purchasing on the wrong side of a crash and watching developments shelved is painful.

Depending on the market, you might consider removing the upper cabinets and installing thick, chunky wood shelves with iron brackets.
