Grid parity was reached 5 years ago nationally.

The line was off diagonally, so I gained in the front, and they gained in the back.

And it's also important to look at the enrollment rate, proximity to the school, and bedroom/bathroom parity (it's easier to rent 1/1).

There is a drastic difference between how these 2 cabins are performing this year with almost equal feature parity.  

I can get 20" tile laid on the diagonal for about $1.10 per sq ft.

I'll try to do better in the future. 6 Unit - Nice residential area down the street from another 6 unit, next to a 4 unit and diagonally from another 4.

And then I bought a little house diagonally across from the community - vacant lots on either side, that are regularly mowed, and new houses across the street.

With houses with bad foundation if you walk diagonally across the room you can usually feel the incline if the foundation is bad.

thanks bob and james..adam, good questions....i planned to list at 95-99 the whole time...my rehab came in so under budget, and i have never flipped a house during the winter....i didn't want to wait until spring to get paid, so i figured i'd rather list at 89 and take it now...i got a strong offer with 20% down, but it was pretty low...i told him 81 was the lowest i'd go..i always pretend that there may only be one buyer looking at that time...i want to turn nobody away, and make sure that the one buyer will buy my home over anything else in the area...i got a great deal on this property, and while i could've held out for more money, i'm happy with my profit, and more importantly, the buyer is happy bc he knows he got a great deal...that doesn't bother me at all..if i waited til april or may, i prob could've sold for 95ish, but now i have money to reinvest into 2 flips, that will both be on the market around early summer...as for your question on upgrades, i think this is pretty much on par for the neighborhood....this area is very trendy.i've learned how to do inexpensive things that look like upgrades...for example..it's a small house, with a small livingroom...prewiring for a flatscreen TV isn't hard or expensive, but it's a nice touch for an oler 60's home that most don't expect...it cost very little...the tiles on the kitchen floor are mostly the .67/ft tile from depot...by adding in a border and setting the middle tiles on the diagonal, it makes it look custom and expensive, but the materials were not bad at all...same with the backsplash, which was a great deal..also, this house faced the back of a grocery store...that didnt' seem to bother most people, and i'm thinking it was bc the inside and backyard looked so good..sometimes, it's worth it to spend a few extra on things to make them forget about the flaws...hope that helps

You need 2 egresses. the 2 doors must be over half the diagonal distance from each other.
