@Tj Hines. If this is the palm Harbor property that I think it is, beware of immediate capital expense beyond the normal. Plumbing in paticulr. That meter conversion is something of a mess. I've been fooling around a little with that place from the get go.

@Robert Beickert. Nope, Florida says you can only pull owner permits if the building is owner occupied. I have paid a gc to pull the permit and look over the work I did before calling for inspections

@Tommy Martinez. Funny you should ask that question. Six years ago We bought a trashed out REO in our target market. At that time the neighborhood was pretty sketchy, c- minis on a good day. We paid cash cause it was sooo cheep. bought a shipping container and a nice tent and set up in the backyard. Firepit and everything. After 3 years of camping, working nights and weekends we were able to move into our lovingly restored 60 year old bungalow. Neighborhood improved and recently our home appraised at more than 10x what we paid for it. Best move I ever made. Still a little burned out on camping however.
