Leave the owners alone, when and if they are ready to sell, they will, and there will be plenty of lots to choose from on the MLS.I have no statistics to back this up, but in my casual observation after our fire is about 1/3 of the owners rebuilt their homes (some built similar, some duplicated exactly--big mistake, and some built better/nicer/larger homes). 

Toxic paint et al.Would you want your family living in house remodeled with cheap Chinese s**t?

Quote from @Paul T.: I always thought he was a scam, but several other investors I know and trust like him, so I ended up buying some of his lower level stuff, books, recordings and whatnot.

If you can't find existing meetups, create your own by organizing casual gatherings for like-minded investors.

Thanks @Eli Epstein - I would be interested in connecting w/r/t the NJ market.

We found a 188 unit deal in Columbia South Carolina and Ryan had actually already underwritten it but he missed the fact that the T 12 actually only had 11 months in it instead of 12 so we caught it and Multi Family Mindset’s internal underwriter really loved the deal.

Plus each house sitting empty for t months seems wasteful.)But it’s hard to find a warm but not hot and humid location.

It’s not for the casual, would-be investor.However, your BEST investment is always in your own education.

We are t protected at renewal time. 

Since then, Chewy, Auto Zone, AT&T, Dollar Tree have all built distribution centers in the area.
