Anyone have thoughts about Center Square vs. rest of Albany? 

Square Footage / # of units4.

The rest are single story, some with more square footage than others, but from 1400-1800'.

If so, don't ever pay that unless we are talking about huge kitchens.As other posters have stated, cabinets are an easy DIY.When you get to countertops, check HD, they do the best top of the line counters for $25-30 per square foot installed.  

I will be working downtown around Market Square.

I would love to buy a home in Central Park for $170K i mean absolutely love it, thing is I have a 5 person family and looking for a little more square footage.

I work with all type of sellers so this is the basic info I want from the seller:Name, address of the property, phone #, email.Description of the property - beds, baths, square footage, lot size, garage, type of house etc. 

The house itself was built in the late 1800s but is super solid and everything looks square.

"meh".The low appraisal also shoots the selling exit strategy in the foot.

for full basement foundations you will need a decent size machine. for trench footings, clear lots and move soil, why not look into something like a John Deere, where you can put different accessories on the machine - backhoe, bucket, lawn mower, post hole digger etc. ?
