You have to be careful using price per square footage.

If I want the spruce up at 1.50 a foot ten years later I can.

As an example Cardiff may have 200 registered solicitor practices with a dozen being located within a square mile of the capital and of these only 4 have more than 200 staff.

So I am back to square one, trying to figure out how I can put the kind of deal you mentioned together.

This is a pretty close replica of the first investment property that I set foot in years back just getting my bird-dogging newb-feet wet in this industry.

I have spent the last 4-5 months getting to know a guy who flips within a 4 square mile radius of Chicago (has done over 100 in the last few years) and has gotten to the point where he set his own comps at times.

But, from the facts as you stated them, my guess is that he's just a cheap serial thief who found a way to obscure it through a campaign of undocumented misinformation and foot-dragging.

HAR shows 3BR/2B condos in that neighborhood listed at $2450-$2500 but they are 1900-2100 square feet.  

@David Krulac  well now a days we are building 12 foot wide homes in Portland.. we call them Portland skinnies.. and I have a lot under contract in Charleston that will be about the same..  12 ot 15 foot wide home. 

I hope to follow in your foot steps and reading your insight gives me great ideas to hold onto for the future when I hopefully buy my own property.Thank you and congratulations
