I was presented with an off market deal in Hammond with the potential to rehab it and add another bedroom, so I am trying to size it up as well and see if its worth it.

Just listed on the market for $595K.

If you think you will be back in a couple years, you are trying to time the market. 

In my market, you see a range but the construction cost for the home itself is roughly $100/sqft to $140/sqft for the home alone.

Don't fall for their marketing attempt.

Keep up with changes in the market, fresh ways to do things, and new rules in real estate.Good luck!

@Jonathan GreeneAgree 100%. be transparent and if good news great - bad news - still share it with investors - realize they are making life choices based on what they may be telling you as an example of someone has $100k investment and you fear it’s going to go to foreclosure - well maybe they would not spend $10k on that vacation or buy a new home knowing they are getting wiped outUnfortunately there is a group of guru syndicators who are great marketers / sales which some I have personally spoken with and they are so full of it and just like to hear their voice their ego gets in the way.

Hi, I'm considering purchasing a home near Frederick that has been on the market 9 months !

I am about to start a direct mail marketing campaign and am looking for the access to gain comp information.

Do you have any insight/advice for someone looking to expand into that market?
