The house was completely gutted: no sinks, no tub, no plumbing, no dry wall, no flooring, no ceiling, no light fixtures, no HVAC whatsoever, just studs, siding, some windows, and a roof.Not only do the HAZMAT guys charge a lot, you have to pay for special disposal of these demo materials, not cheap.

The new apartments/condos near the Lowes on Burgin parkway, Wollaston, and in Quincy Center are renting at those rates (actually a bit higher), however they are luxury units chock full of amenities like dog walking services, dry cleaning, etc.

Foreclosures and short sales have dried up.  

You are only considering a direction/process not making cut and dry final decisions.

Basements are expected around here and counted SqFt if framed and dry walled.

I can personally attest to learning about someone after the ink is dry on the paper.

I am interested in how best to generate off market leads, since the MLS is dry and the whales such as LLCs and Hedge funds come in buy out the poor goldfish like me.Thank you,Jasper Balibrea

Those deals have dried up, as the area housing market improves and I've only really found undervalued stuff at lower price points.

There has been some great development downtown and also our on stadium Dr. I

@Jason Sterlingwhen you purchase a rehab foreclosure be sure you place a lot of back into the property ie...money for what you missed/elect ,plumbing, gas piping, AC repairswhat happened on mine was that there was no title- the county had to make a new title for the property it had been sold so many times in the previous refi process, that is how it went to auctionas long as the arv is suitable for the area and you can get it for a deal then it would be a good buy if the rents are not going to make it work then flip it for a small profitget another set of eyes on the property to help you analyze the property maybe look at a cut sheet from one of the forms on BP what your looking for and what is a tear out or a repair-ie most sheetrock damage is a repair unless water damaged then it is a tear out, flooring if it squeaks you can fix that with a nice box of screws, if it has dry rot then it is tear outnetwork with someone in your area maybe a GC to do a walk throughenjoy
