I just found this one...http://har.com/search/engine/indexde...kButton=Y...on the buybankhomeswebbsite it says the bank is trying to get 114,900 for it but im guessing the bank is trying to get rid of it and is tryingg to get 99,000 for it. I checked the county appraisal district and they value the house at 129,490

Are there any neighborhood revitalizations going on in your area?

MJ1133

Not in my area, but maybe down in Houston and the less fortunate ares

NOTKTS

Nice find... If you put 15K into it that home has potential of 190K. Particalarly the landscaping aspect... See if you can get ahold of your father today. Ask them if you could tour the home. How much have you talked about these homes with your dad?

NOTKTS

So you live in the outskirt suburbs of Houston Anyways if you can get ahold of those plans there is money to be made.

MJ1133

Ive talked to him alot about these homes and he said he'll buy me the home and im gonna be in charge to get the home in good condition and whatnot...he says that this will be good for me so i can get expierence in these types of things. Ill try and get ahold of him today.

MJ1133

Pretty much...how can I find out about those plans?

NOTKTS

So you've been intrested in these homes for a good while now haven't you? It really is a good expericence to have and you could upgrade to that M6 if this all goes well. But all of that kickten and most of the carpets and floors need to go... new bathroom. Redo the fireplace, drywall the garage, landscaping, the insulation might need to be pulled... I've noticed that its pretty typical in homes from the 60's and bring the place up to code Sounds like a lot but Im sure it could be done in a month if you spend a good 10 hours a day...

NOTKTS

Try city hall... They should be public records

MJ1133

Im up for it have nothing to do this summer

MJ1133

With the neighborhood revitalizations what would I have to do...would I basicly have to fix up the homes and then sell them? im not too familiar with this

NOTKTS

How sad :p What do you know about doing home improvment?

MJ1133

Im a quick learner...one day in the library and i can be a GC in no time. But seriously i kno the basics, I watch HGTV and TLC sometimes. I canput in tile because i was watching the people do that in my house for about 3 days. I dont kno too much but, so I think its time for me to hit the library

NOTKTS

Its more of the location location location idea... just like I did with Old Met... I bought the whole block at 85K when it was going through a revitalization. I have gotten offers in the 2 million range. Those lots in the neighborhoods are more less something that you buy very cheap and keep them for a while... then 10 years later you sell them for a huge return.

NOTKTS

Thats the best way to get started Have you gotten a chance to catch Proptery Ladder yet... they had a great epidsode on this weekend.

MJ1133

No i keep missing it...im gonna print out the times and tape it to my tv :p

NOTKTS

TIVO!!! Come on I'm 30 something and I try to keep current with the techonogly out there... isn't your generation suppose to be the Tech Age???

MJ1133

I think im gonna have to go and buy me a block too . When you bought the block did you just sit on it or did you fix it up?

MJ1133

hahahah i need to get me on of those in my room....time to go to best buy

NOTKTS

It was full of ex-hud housing... I got some permits and rented a D5 *Big @$$ bull dozer* and had a couple days of fun :p Completly flat in 4 days... and I just put 4 feet of fill in and let it sit... it does get mowed every week and I have 4 signs on each coner of the lots. Other than that I have almost forgoten about it

NOTKTS

Im sure you could find a better deal in the hood

MJ1133

MJ1133

NOTKTS
