I have never done major repairs/rehabbed a SF property. I have a fear that for example if there are heavy plumbing repairs that require a building permit/city inspection that the inspector may find lead paint or old wiring that doesn't meet current code......then empty my wallet! Are there any "skeletons in the closet" I should keep a look out for when purchasing a property? I don't want to get into a deal where I think there are only small repairs and then find out that something is not code compliant and then spend more money than expected. While I understand rehabbing is not without its hidden risks, I hopping to learn ways to identify the signs that indicate more repairs. Ben

Hey Nancy! That's great I will get in touch.

Hello BP family!  My name is Ben and I am a new investor from Tarrant County Texas.  I have been thinking about investing in SF & MF for a few years and now that I have found this community I think I have enough courage to finally dive in.  Long term holds in SF and MF in Tarrant County (North Texas) is where I plan to make my investments.  My long term goal is to develop land as well as pay for my kids college tuition.  

My professional background includes entitling raw land and permitting infrastructure for development.

I look forward to working with you!
