Any insights or wise souls out there with some advice...I'm all ears.  

If anybody has any recommendations, I'm all ears and would appreciate it.

If you have insight into my issue I'd be all ears. :)@Thomas S.

So you'll have to play this by ear, but just remember to think ahead in case things don't work out.

I want to absorb as much knowledge as I can, from like-minded individuals, to become the best investor/agent that I can be.Thank you to everyone here on these forums, whether posters or commenters, all of your words and your advice, truly, does not fall on deaf ears. 

The 800 lbs gorilla just left the ring.  

Should I have my realtor ring up some comps to show the ARV of other homes in the area then go through the home and do a repair cost breakdown of the project.

Like when an appraiser says a ring is worth $10,000 but won’t buy it from you for $5,000. 

If it is a large complex (above 50-75), you will most likely need to partner with a more experienced player who can bring some capital and experience to the table.You may be able to get some cash and a small percentage of the sponsorship in exchange for being the eyes and ears on the ground.

We’ll try to charge a bill for the stolen power, new lock ring we install, etc on the previous person, but won’t hold a new owner responsible, nor do we go after landlords who have tenants that do dumb stuff; we just want our meter back and all to be back to norm.
