If this was 3 streets over it would probably be closer to $200k!

@Ivan NevarezWelcome to the vibrant BP community.

(Sellers are good at driving down the street past the renovated homes to get to their property, and not showing you the local crack house and burnt-out shells that are on the next block over.) 

There is a flip right down the street from me, but I wouldnt never use that price as a comp, because it took them 6 months to sell it.

@Vincent CraneYes, you made some excellent points and I can attest to the fact that because of my interactions on the site, there have been a lot of "sidebar" communications with fellow BPers as you have alluded to.So, the bottom line is that the community thrives on these interactions and the more participations there are, then, the more vibrant the community becomes.Almost everyone is afraid of public speaking and online interaction is no different and often invokes fear.

No repairs absolutely needed, but a few bucks spent on paint and a new garage door would improve curb appeal dramatically (home is nice inside, super ugly from the street).Offer price: $117,000Comps: $130-140k FMR: $1,050-$1,100Financing: Putting 25% down, would get around 4.8% interest rate according to broker.

I went to see it and aesthetically its in great shape on an good street where these types of properties get snatched up in a week.

Hello, I am looking to extend a paved driveway in one of our rentals to the back yard to allow for more off-street parking.
