Hi Cody, I will be moving there after Christmas this year. I settled on Conroe, it was far enough away yet close enough.

Thanks guys! Yes it was almost a full year to the day. Then I still had to go to court with him over slander for another few months.
Luckily I haven't heard from him in a few months, and I will be relocating to Houston at the end of the year. Hopefully it will be easier to evict there!

Emmons Construction or Redesign Contractors. I've used both. Excellent job with both.

@michael the lots are to be serviced by well and septic. There are two telephone poles on the property so the houses can be set off the road a good bit if you wanted. Also they just ran natural gas at the road about 6 months ago.

I have a 6.2 acre lot for sale in Franklinville, NJ. My plan with this lot was to subdivide into two lots and put up two houses. My plans have changed because I am relocating to Houston for work.
I have the engineering drawings all complete for the subdivision, they just need to be submitted to the township for approval.
I am asking $48,900 for this lot, and I will seller finance with a small down payment if need be.

I was born in Kensington and lived a few doors down from "Little Maries" house from Rocky. My dad used to own a bunch of properties there.
I know the city just dumped some money into cleaning up McPherson Sq (needle park) but I haven't done any follow up to see if it went right back to the way it was or not.
The city is auctioning off 185 properties in June from what I read. Maybe you should look into that list and see what they have to offer.

I would be interested. I always want to make it to one of the meetings they hold in cherry hill but I never seem to be available when the meetings are happening.

I have had older cabinets that smelled but were in good shape so I wasn't going to trash them. I used drawer liners (with baking soda) until I had time to sand and paint them.
Post: Northern Jersey Escrow and closing procedure for Cash Deals

In south jersey I did two cash transactions so far. A deposit is required when you submit your offer (if the property is listed) as well as proof of funds. I closed within two weeks on the first one because that's how long it took for the title search and survey to be done. The second one was done with just a lawyer (it was an estate and the lawyer had to handle multiple things for this woman). I don't have a good timeline to give you for this because I made it clear I would purchase the house months before she finished cleaning it out and sold it to me. Therefore I do not know how much notice she gave the lawyer.
