Welcome Eddie:Are you planning to invest locally; in a less expensive part of the Country; or, perhaps, internationally?

If you plan on having internal combustion engines of any sort in the garage below, don't skimp on air sealing the garage ceiling and walls {this is where closed cell spray foam insulation is very useful}.

No Mike not reallyMost of the houses offer "by owner" are retial flips offer by investor/rehabbers looking for a retail buyer or they are "dummy ads" or shills from wholesalers looking to build a Buyers List.Nothing wrong with that but thats what the Hell it is.As a practical matter I ve considered hiring a real estate assistant or intern to do the looking for meIts kind of like looking for a needle in the haystackI think my time and money i0s better invested in direct mail,but keep in touch and let me know how u doDD

Sorry for the late response but here is my take; "Douglas Elliman rep: 70% of Brooklyn home sales going to hedge funds, investors and international buyers" reference http://freewilliamsburg.com/douglas-elliman-rep-70-of-brooklyn-home-sales-going-to-hedge-funds-investors-and-international-buyers/.NYC is a different market, Brooklyn is a very hot market.

All of these properties were bought through companies facilitating international investors, which is convenient for me but they of course charge a premium for their service.

Thanks Roy, understood if I were to invest in France, but we don't have that here, it certainly gives a kick in the income. :)

We have been compensating this price to the lowest already in the hope of getting someone to rent it out.I might have to include that I do not live in the states but in Luxembourg (small country next to France, Belgium and Germany) and that we live in a very urban neighborhood.I talked to my family and told them about my interest in real estate and that I want to get involved eventually as a career to be able to quit my job and focus on real estate completely, and I got the permission to take over.My other uncle is trying to sell his family home for a few months now and I haven't spoken to him yet but I am sure he will let me take over as well in order to get his house sold.I will get more detailed information about both buildings by the weekend.My question to you guys is, what advice can you give me?
