Estimated a lot more on repair cost than actual cost. It's always good to overestimating and underspending. This one was a fun one, with no real major issues, just needed a lot of repair and updating.

I love the Southern-style front porch.

The biggest challenge on this one was the smell from the animals kept in this home. Multi-treatment where necessary on the concrete slab, as well as in the master bathroom, which was a bird catch. Two codes of specialized paint for order control, not the regular Home Depot paint, were necessary. Cockroaches were on fun to get rid of either. They were everywhere!

It was close to home and I know the area well.

Yes I am one myself

We are looking into two options for lead gen.  Dealmachine and Propstream . Can I get some input which one you like better and why?

I am looking into purchasing land, subdividing it, and building on it.  My biggest challenge right now is making connections with builders and GC. Is there a group somewhere I can make some connections?
