Having a full renovated home in the inner city is like being a sitting duck.

I think I can buy it at a great price to make my margins work.I have never used hard money, but this deal requires more cash than I would like to tie down (2mil).

Well... they are who they are. 

I have the knowledge and skills for contractor work as I have been doing handyman work for the past 10 years, as well as learning the roofing trade with a professional company.

For me it’s been a blessing and money well spent.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

I'd like to see less censorship as well.

Economic factors like taxes, new investments in manufacturing, and politics is apparently driving people to states like TX and FL.

In my view they made the correct decision and if you spent significant time recovering this cost, well I think we all know what that is. 

As explained above, income from the financed portion of the property in an IRA would be taxed as well, but you can deduct related expenses, including depreciation, to minimize this tax liability; that is why I recommend a discussion with a tax expert to understand what your numbers would look like.Hope this helps!
