Hello All,I'm purchased tax deed homes in the ft. myers area and I'm looking for a good realtor to assist me, as I live in California. 

It'll be 2009 all over again, and unless you want to see your hard earned cash evaporate or give your real-estate back to the banks, diversification is your best option.Oil & gas and real-estate are considered identical in the eyes of the IRS.

They are one of the few companies I've found that will add theft.  

The other one I bought in 1978 for $35,000 and the $500,000 sale is identical to mine.

If you have 2 identical homes, one renting for $500 and the other $1000, replacing the roof is going to cost the same it won't be cheaper for the lower rent home.If the buy, live in, fix-up, then rent out works for you and you are comfortable with that strategy why not stick with it. 

After 8 months of Delays, stress, cost run ups, theft, etc..

You are right that you have to know what you're looking at in comps because two identical row homes can have or lack features that make a huge difference to the user's quality of life.

THE ATTACHED FILE IS A COPY OF YOUR LOAN TERM AND REPAYMENT SCHEDULE AND YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GO THROUGH IT AND GET BACK TO ME WITH A CLEAR SCANNED COPY OF ANY OF YOUR VALID IDENTITY CARD AND A CORRECTLY FILLED OUT BANKING DETAILS TO ENABLE US PROCEED ON YOUR LOAN FUNDS TRANSFER.I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS EMAIL;REGARDS,MARTIN GRIMES.

Even then you have to be careful and risk theft when the house is vacant.  

Haha I had the IDENTICAL issue with two females last Aug.
