I have been circling raw land for about a year and I finally have two things I can actually buy. Same money, very different bets. Parcel A: 34 acres, $4,100 an acre, $139,400. Nin…
Under LOI on a 14-unit garden-style, two buildings, 1968 vintage, in an inner-ring suburb. Price 1.75M. In-place NOI I can defend is 118k, so a 6.7 going-in cap. Rents average 895…
