@Melonie Dickson I just closed on a property that I *almost* did a no contingency offer, but at the last minute, I trusted my gut and added a 5 day due diligence.

If they just gave a glance then they are probably just looking for that next place to stayWhat did your gut tell you?

I have one project under my belt with a small Multifamily that I fully gut renovated and recently fully rented out.

The house was a gut job 8 years ago and it's currently in great shape, it's in a great neighborhood in the city and all units are in great shape and recently renovated.

Maybe even a gut rehab.Are there tenant buyers who would fix then flip a property that is distressed?

So financing it is an issue.I have experience with several remodels, additions and gut rehabs for my properties where I was the GC (planning, permits & inspections, subcontracting)I can probably start small and purchase cheaper properties with cash (around $100k+) and rehab/remodel/rent/flip and build up a portfolio.

A kitchen remodel total gut and redo .

My initial instinct is to tie the dog down with a leash that still gives him free reign of the yard, but I fear a dog that can jump the fence may be able to just rip the leash out.

These are moderately complex - rewire, replumb, water intrusion, rotten kitchen and bath floors, reconfigure for master ensuite, and open kitchen/den.West End is very hard -- 100 year old homes, so lots of complex framing issues, super competitive, and require full gut rehabs or pop the top.  

Uggh, I just when through this a couple of months ago, and even though the tenants were able to shower in their brother's apt downstairs while I gutted the failed tile tub surround and retiled, it was still a nightmare.
