That could be a busy street, burned out or abandoned houses in the neighborhood, railroad tracks, industrial areas, steep hill/driveway, near the interstate, next to a graveyard, funky layout, high ceilings, etc...

One is located in the Pinecrest Heights community of Annandale, close to 395 and Duke Street, and the other is located in the Carlyn Springs community in Falls Church (close to Bailey's Crossroads).

For effortless, built in equity and cash flow you'll need a time machine to the days of blood in the streets and fear that Bay Area real estate was dead "for real this time".  

For which I still BLAME Wall Street and many HUCKSTER Financial companies .

I was worried about our Sugar Land house since SL got drenched the hardest, but thankfully all was ok other than some street flooding. 

Your appraiser should be able to compare your house at 2 bedrooms with the one down the street at 3 bedrooms.

I'm also in contact with Probate attorneys; and other attorneys who are interested in my ability to hit the street, and get dirt underneath my fingernails.  

The house right across the street was just purchsed for $75,000.00.Is this an opportunity for an investment property that can save my parents from having to move? 

I drove that street for that deal you are talking about and it is a horribly bad area, probably top 5 worst in the city that I've seen.

You are right down the street from me here let me know if you want to grab some Great Bar B Q if you are ever in town!!
