When I visited a week ago, it seemed like there was a lot of rehab/reconstruction going on, but still many older homes that have yet to be turned.

No, you would find a surgeon that specializes in the procedure you need.

I had 3 teams of two door knock every NOD in the 4 county area.We only door knocked one week before they were going to lose the property.. and the best deals were 2 to 3 days before.. this is motivated folks. before that they are still waiting for their rich uncle to bail them out.and folks in our market will receive no less than 100 to 150 direct mail piece during the process.with many saying the exact same thing.. does not take a brain surgeon to realize the letters are not unique  LOLMost folks could not compete with us.. as we could redeem day before many times.  

Today's rate would be 4.5% at 75% LTV with only .5 points.Tenants pay heat and electric.Insurance: dependent upon if I insure replacement value or reconstruction value will vary from $700-$1200.

Dang @Calvin Thomas, this IS a pickle.As far as the money goes, I would be inclined to forego the legal pursuit and put the $50-75k (or lets say $75k since legal fees are rarely less than they can be) towards the $110k in re-construction costs. 

@Manda Gouvion I first started thinking about real estate 3 years ago while I was laid up recovering from ACL reconstruction surgery.

I wouldn't have a brain surgeon fill my cavity in my tooth.

My question is when you're choosing a house to flip and renovate are you guys re-designing theses houses yourselves and managing the construction or how do you go about planning for reconstruction and design ideas?

Instead of saying medical...trying to deal with some surgeon, I'd suggest you hit up dentists (everyone else does, lol) Especially a new dentist, they seem to lack business knowledge, need help getting started, but have enough money to buy.

If so, then have them confirm that you can reconstruct the quad from the foundation up and remain compliant without having to rezone.
