Find deals- We use the MLS, wholesalers, property finders, other investors, craigs list, backpage... social networks, preservation companies, contractors, periodic mailings;  hedge funds, auctions, driving for $.... 

Those things are so toxic people have no idea.Cook fresh and took away all the preservatives and chemicals.  

My other idea is use 2x6 redwood (about the same price as that composite stuff), but I want to treat it with something to preserve the color of the redwood.

Screening your tenant with a fine tooth comb is the very best insurance you can have against preserving the condition of your property and your sanity.

I am wondering if any flipper have dealt with a HPOZ (Historic Preservation Overlaying Zone) house before?

if the outside is that bad , its time for you ,the landlord to do a complete inspection , inside and out to preserve your investment . 

My point of emphasis is that the same strategies of wealth creation and preservation are rapidly evolving and real estate as part of an investment or retirement portfolio might be more intelligent and essential than ever.

During our conversation there was mention of property preservation.
