And of course the same for nearby lenders (people with insufficient equity to 'qualify,' to remodel?)

AZ has much more outdoor activities nearby compare to Chicago and the weather is so much better. 2) The organization we are working with in Kenya is building a rehab center/US base in Phoenix AZ.

If I pick it up and take it to the bank I save $308.16 per year and I'll get paid back roughly $0.52 per mile at tax time to go to a nearby town I'd probably need to goto anyway for lunch or something.But at least it's quick and easy, right?

My husband and I are focusing in on nearby college neighborhoods.

Since you live in Alabama though, you probably have a lot of nearby options if you're looking to cash flow.

I suppose you would have to consider the availability of nearby laundromats...that apartment was 8 miles to the closest one.

I'm curious why someone put landscaping stones around the clean-out; looks like whoever had the property was accommodating this setup despite it being against code.The clean-out was threaded and accepted the cap (which I found nearby) which tells me it was probably originally intended to be a clean-out and not a re-routing of the kitchen plumbing.I ran the sink with the clean-out re-capped and nothing backed up, further confirming the point above (hopefully).As I mentioned, the inspection turned up no further plumbing issues, but I'm still curious about the first question.I've included a few pictures (it's been re-capped in some) below so you can see what it looks like.Take a look and let me know if this is something you guys have ever seen before.Thanks in advance!

I agreed with Ned - drive-by is a must before bidding on any property in large cities to determine the condition of the city block of the property and nearby blocks - looking for boarded-ups and number rentals in the area that will help or break the fix and flip sale value.

I would still be exposed to the risk of cleanup costs if it at some point gets found out, like leaking into the aquifer nearby....

I took him out for breakfast in a nearby restaurant and this is the advice he gave me.
