Just a few blocks from me can either be pretty nice or really awful... 

Hi BP fam,Recently I went to see this property seating on almost one acre and in the lot there is the main house and then a separate structure made of cinder block of around 1300 sqft (has kitchen plumbing, ceilings are around 12 feet tall, no bathroom, no electrical) and my interest in submitting an offer is the idea of making that second cinder block structure in to another house. 

My contact info should appear down below in my signature block, provided you're not using the phone app.

This seems like a huge road block and since I plan to self manage, this could be a deal breaker.

Hey BP,I have what can be a great deal but am hitting a road block with financing.

The home is located in a quaint part of town near the city center in Lakewood, New York, and was the ugliest and most run-down house on the block.

My contact info should appear down below in my signature block, provided you're not using the phone app.

This second property has a good block shell and has passed inspections with no major red flags. 

Let us take a look at one property, 280 Grove Street (City Hall) 280 Grove Street Property Detail (monmouth.nj.us) Starting from Top left to right, you will see:1st column - Block, Lot - these are handy when you want to pay taxes, look up other information2nd column - Property Location, District, Property Class - location self explanatory, district 0906 (which is why the first url I had put 0906), class tells you what type of property it is. 15C.

I love everything about where I live ( Ocean Beach, San Diego, 1/2 block from the water, the size of my unit, walking distance to everything I need) but I am the only owner occupied unit in my building.
