I have paid between $300 and $400 for a really good inspection. It is often based on the square footage and should not be on the age of the house.

I'm looking into setting up a website and would like to be able to post before and after photos of my rehabs as well as other investing info. I'm just not sure where to start. Is there a site for hosting that you would recommend that is easy for someone like me who needs some guidance? I don't mind paying some small fees, but I don't want to spend a ton of money. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome. Florence is a great area. I grew up about 30 miles from there. This site is great and hopefully you will find a lot of great info here.

I did a property similar to this 4 years ago. There was mold in the basement and we paid a mold cleaner to come in. We ripped everything down to the studs. They cleaned the air and sprayed the studs. I actually got a quote before making and offer so that I would know what their charge would be. I submitted the quote to the bank so that they woul understand my offer and why it was so low. For me it was not a huge deal as long as I knew the costs upfront and had a written guarantee from the mold company. We had more testing done after the rehab and made that availible to the buyer so that they felt comfortable that we took care of it. Good luck with your decision.

I saw this on the news last week. That's terrible and I hope they get it resolved somehow.

It's great to see other investors here from the Charlotte area. I have been investing just over the state line in SC for the past few years fixing and flipping homes.

Feel free to PM me anytime if you want to disuss rehabs.

Greetings everyone from the Charlotte, NC & Lake Wylie, SC area. I have been fixing and flipping homes in the area for the past 6 years. I have been doing this part time while holding down a full time job. I was recently laid off and feel this is my opportunity to rehab full time. I have a degree in Interior Design and feel that has been a huge benefit in rehabbing. I have made it a point to learn how to do much of the work myself and enjoy putting my own sweat equity into the properties.

I know there are many challenges ahead, but I welcome them and hope that I can move forward with making this a full time career. I just stumbled on this site last night and I am thrilled to be here.
