For instance, if you are considering calculating it for your offer price I would say that it is not a large enough value to even consider it unless you are driving hundreds of miles each day or your resale value is going to be in the $20k range.

A shame though because I drive those areas every day for work.

This one has actually been sold for about 4 months now and we just need to finish it up to recognize the profit.Front ViewI'll post more when I get a chance to drive by and take some current shots.

What they call an appraisal is a Realtor driving by, rolling down the window and taking a picture from the street.

I started driving a over the road 18 wheeler.

Hi Eric...First, I'm new to this so my opinion should be taken accordingly.The first thing that I do when I get these emails is go to Google maps and drive the area in Street View.

Then if you could use that 13 or so to improve the value of the property an additional 25k or so you could then flip it and make your profit and get the property out of the owners name completely.Just another option to keep in mind.They might not be that motivated right now but after they start taking those drives every day they will become more motivated and will do what they can to be done with it.Worst case for you right now is the deal doesn't work , but atleast you tried its better than doing nothing.

High crime and looks like crap when you drive through it.

I saw a sign while driving that said "owner moving, make an offer."

And with the address a world of easy investigative information is just a few minute's drive away.
