HAR shows 3BR/2B condos in that neighborhood listed at $2450-$2500 but they are 1900-2100 square feet.  

@Kim Pham  thanks for sending me the APN  number this lot although very well located in Bennett valley and surrounded by 500 to 800k homes.. is from looking at the plat map left over slip of land... its only 60 feet wide and its 300 feet long. 

I just watched a webinar, in fact, and will commit to analyzing three deals in the next 24 hours to get my feet wet.

At this time, I will be able to jump into the RE game with 2 feet as she will bring home the guaranteed income (sugar mama?). 

The appraisal came back two days ago, and the square footage is less than I thought, so his ARV is $75,000, as oppose to the $85,000 that I was hoping for.

You don't necessarily have to regrade the entire property, just create a swale all the way around the house a few feet from the foundation that can route the water where it needs to go.

Now it is squarely in the path of the billion dollar downtown renovation, and I have no problems finding quality tenants.

This is what the EPA.gov website said was best [pre Trump, don;t know if its still up there] and I agree.Yesterday I looked the sub square in the eye and went over with him that he was ONLY peeling off the vinyl from the asbestos tiles.He said oh yeah he used ot own a ServPro and a job like that would have cost 5k with his biz.So I took comfort that this blithering idiot at least understood NOT to remove the asbestos tiles.Long story short he took up the peel and stick just fine.And then he apparently went to town chipping and breaking up a bunch of the asbestos tiles.And scraping the asbestos mastic too.I took video and photos and am basically in shock.I am in Maryland am now figuring out what to do.

Generally speaking, a typical non-climate controlled facility will cost you $30-$40 per square foot to develop plus the cost of the land.

Personally, I believe jumping in with both feet without the requisite knowledge, business plan, etc. is asking for trouble.
