Samantha Reeves,Thank you for your reply I went through the Handbook , and although it's quite detailed , it seems to me that as Long as the Roof is in Good shape, there is no Peeling Paint on the Exterior of the house, and that the HVAC system is in working order , as well as there are no Safety hazards regarding  the property/house.What I'm not sure on though , is what if there's Some rotten wood on the exterior and or you want ( Need ) another $5,000 to upgrade the house .....new cabinets, faucets, flooring, re-paint the inside ?

I have been looking at Norada real estate and Roof stock and find their cash flow numbers differ greatly.

Change the air filters, make sure sprinklers are set and watering, landscaping done, check on cracks and leaks, visually inspect roof, also checking for pets, and how many people living there. 

The lot in between would have gotten me enough square footage to utilize the green roof bonus which would have gotten me 3 additional lots on top of the 4 by right the lot allowed.

Properties, for novices, which look good on paper and have good cash flow usually come with C to D+ areas, risky tenants, and a lot of cap ex that you can't see on the internet (basements, roofs, water issues, outdated mechanicals).You are turning a terrible loss into a springboard which is great, but you are trying to move too quickly it sounds like.

Then shut it down to frame it up, put your roof on and close it up in a couple of weeks. 

Highlights and AdvantagesNew Roof: Installed 4 months ago.Potential to Add Value: Through strategic renovations including adding a full bathroom and bedroom.Attractive Market: High demand for updated properties in Hixson, TN.9.

Not lazing around in a deck chair all day and having checks just flow into your mailbox like they might with Dividends from owning a stock certificate.3) I would love any feedback on what you think are the main forces holding people back from becoming financially free.21% Of the population Is on government assistance- many in here like that and wish there were more because they benefit from the section 8 rental assistance program that these people use to be able to keep a roof over their heads.

For example, making an owner aware that they will likely need to replace the hot water tank or the roof within the next 12 months if they're in visibly bad shape.

Meanwhile you can do exterior, trim trees, remove shrubs, roofing first, then lawn and landscape so it has time to grow in, driveway if you need a new one last.
