Quote from @Todd Anderson: Todd, you are spot on the builder financing option.

Oh, and my colleague's name is in the spot where it says "John Smith" in case you didn't figure that out.

With the number of attraction spots in and around the Shenandoah Valley, you could certainly make the case that there are homes in the area that are within a “vacation destination” should your primary residence be less than 65 miles from any of these attractions or locations.

Some are willing to eat $150k on the spot.

They're multi-million dollar investors and tax professionals and they're content is spot on.  

Luxury STR's can really perform exceptionally, I've heard St Augustine is a strong market, can't go wrong with anything Naples..Savannah is also a hot spot.

Is a store like Home Depot the spot to get these items?

When you see water spots, dig deeper!

I have only charged for the locks being changed on the property when the previous tenant moved out because she said it took too long to get the repairs done even though I told her what your plumber said about the floor being warped and I believe he was correct because it just seemed to me like foundation issues in certain spots that couldn't be helped and I did also charge for the steps being replaced  with 2 boards which probably measured about 6 ft in.lenghth $450.00 to be replaced  and painted because that was another tenant complaint and you told me to go ahead and fix it....I told you said that when we looked at the house when the tenants moved out he also didn't see any work that needed to be done to it...the only thing i saw was the rat droppings and the garage door issue that didn't work and the limbs down in the front and back yard which i requested to be removed.

Could be a low spot or swamp area.
