Plaintiff is granted 30 days leave to file amended complaint to add as additional Defendants the current owner and mortgage holder of the subject premises and to add additional factual allegation in response to Defendants’ MTD.

There's not a lot of duplexes in the area as demand is high and inventory is low, so it's hard to find comps, granted. 

First round of permits have been granted so gutting has begun!

Don't take for granted the knowledge & experience a good broker can provide you.

Let me start by giving you a little information about myself.What I'm currently doingI'm currently in the "learning" phase and am reading the following books:The book on Rental Property Investing (Bigger Pockets book)The book on investing in Real Estate with No (and low) money down (Bigger pockets book)Long-distance Real Estate Investing (David Greene)The book on Managing Rental Properties (Bigger Pockets book)Build a rental empire (Mark Ferguson)I just finished Grant Cardone's "The 10x rule" and about to finish up "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". 

If the property is an investment property, the max LTV I have seen is 75% and it needs to be a first position lien.Conventional mortgages require a full interior & exterior appraisal, unless you qualify for an appraisal waiver granted by the automated underwriting submission. 

The best success you'll find in heavily regulated states will tend to be in the narrow zone of working directly with government to receive grants and benefits for taking the kind of risks that the open market will not support.

Granted, a smart thief could plan ahead if they know its the security system that’s plugged in... but you’d probably also at least get a power outage and low battery notifications. 

I’m ordering “How to create wealth investing in Real Estate” by Grant Cardone and I see he has several other free ebooks for download as well :).I know I need to do my due diligence.  

Granted the property was renovated and in great condition which also helps.
