I now owe $203,000 and properties on my street are on the market ranging from $220,000 to $230,000.

That said Cookman Ave, the main business strip off of Main Street has been steadily growing and improving.

Your street cred. is dropping pretty fast, IMHO.

Also, a house down the street is about to go on the market.

What I take issue with is upon him initially calling in he states "Whatever you have on in the background, could you cut it off because it's really annoying" I have Sesame Street playing in the background for my kids.

Maywood is back - check on redfin. bubble is back. 4/3 fully rehabbed go for 150K easily. mine is specific. it has a shared, narrow driveway, almost no yard and busy street. it has 4br finished basement and 3 full bathrooms. so yes.

I knew every street and wasn't scared.

I can guestimate about 50k in repairs because I purchased a house across the street from this 1 about a year ago & I underestimated the cost to reno by about 40K & it was in similiar condition.

There's plenty of untapped potential but I would check in with the FPD for local crime data for specific areas like Framingham Center, where they still have a lot of loitering, visibly under the influence people on the street, blight, etc.   

Still do your due diligence...you don't want to be stuck with a filthy, drugged-out, drama queen with shady friends for 7 months.
