An example would be a town fueled by a major construction project (a dam, pipeline, high speed train, etc.).

Pour very hot water on the dent while damming the water up with the towel.

Yes a lot of people can't afford the homes right now, but a slow leak is far better than the dam breaking.

I currently own a 2bed/2bth condo in Avon, Colorado which is located directly across from an awesome world class ski resort known as Beaver Creek Resort (it is Vail Mountain's sister resort just a short 5 miles down i70 to the west).

BUT it's dam near impossible to get a start around here with such high purchase prices.

., Home Builders, Handymen, and Real Estate Investors, for instance.Our new Greater Pittsburgh area franchise will initially service Allegheny County, and within the next few months, will also service portions of the counties of Beaver, Butler, Armstrong, and Westmoreland. 

Beaver county looks good in that case.

I am seeking partners/private lenders for fix and flip and rentals in counties north of Pittsburgh (Beaver County and surrounding.) 

I did not say I have no money or Dam these kids cost to much lol.

Thank you in advance and please feel free to contact me here ( [email protected] ) when you get a chance .That was great advise from Charlie, also one thing to keep in mind when rehabbing a fire damage property Roland, is that there are hidden cost with these kind of property i.e. asbestos reports and findings, wire damage from heat or fire or submerge or expose to water from fire extinguishing that require to be change because they are not listed for wet or dam location and so on.
