Way too much time spent on phone calls and on chats etcYeah it’s especially frustrating when you get the autopay all set up and then they transfer the loan to a new bank or a new servicing company takes over and it’s back to square one again.  

Repairing to sell might recoup some costs, but given the market and your limited funds, selling “as-is” is likely the best option to minimize further losses.

Our current manager is in Huntsville and it is becoming clear that we need someone more local to Cullman who can be on top of showing our listings and taking charge of maintenance and repairs as needs arise. 

Lastly is your listing details; they read with all the story telling and excitement of a furnace repair manual.

If you buy real estate, you will spend hours and days and weeks and months of your life dealing with it… Home repairs, guests,… An investment really has to be pretty amazing to sacrifice all that time for itThe houses I own I bought many years ago at dirt cheap prices and dirt cheap mortgage rates.

Hard Money will usually finance 90% of your purchase price and 100% of your repair cost up to 70 or 75% ARV (after repair value).

If the report looks good, We have a phone interview. 

Analyze potential deals by estimating the After Repair Value (ARV), repair costs, and total expenses. 

After spending all day dodging junk mail, junk e-mail, junk texts, and junk phone calls I have very little energy left for junk BP posts!
