I was in the United States Air Force for six years and moved back down to South Florida in the beginning of 2014.

@Andrew KwiatkowskiI've thought about Fairmont and Clarksburg/Bridgeport, however as long as I have a full time job I'm not interested in looking that far away.  20 mins to Fairmont and 45 mins to C-burg/B-port doesn't sound that far away, but the inconvenience factor has steered me away.If I ever do this full time, I would absolutely look in that direction. 

Hi, can someone recommend an agent in the New Port Richey, FL area that works with investors?

If the unit has these:Assume replacement every 10 years:Water heater - $900Refrigerator - $900Range - $900Dishwasher - $600Clothes washer/dryer - $1000 combinedEvery 15 years:Furnace - $2900Central air - $29003 BR SFR Flat Roof - $2100 + $300 per 3 years to coat itI annually plan for an additional $1,500 of miscellaneous maintenance expenses and $800 for capital improvements.You could probably use something like this to estimate your per-unit costs as some units might not have all the same features.  

So to recap, in my pretty house model, doing a wall to wall rehab, all floors, kitchen baths, walls will allow me to set a record on the rents, and when it comes time to advertise I attract the tenant with the higher credit/income and  I would like to add that in March I closed on a SFR in Embassy Hills Port Richey for $51,000 A 2/1/1, 1100 SF.   

We gutted house installed a 98% energy efficient forced air furnace multi stage.

I'm a contractor,& have worked with Realtors extensively.have your Realtor ask around the office for someone that does repairs/inspection punch list items, they will be able to clean up that mess for you at a MUCH lower priceYou most likely won't have black mold, but Dawn dish washing soap will cleanse everything of mold"Home inspectors will verify"secondly, after all the moisture,& suspected mold has been cleaned/dried, you can simply use good sealer/primer on wood,& concreteI would guestimate around $3,000-$6000 for the entire job including hardwoodsMake sure you block any air intrusions in the crawlspace areas, Colorado can be hard on water lines :O}

Right now the only thing in the 0-60k range in all of Nassau County on MLS is a house boat in port washington:) You can find some beat up properties in suffolk or some unrealistic short sales on MLS.

There were major/minor repairs that has taken place in the 3yrs (A/C unit was converted to central heat & air had to be rebuilt twice) among other things.

When I was able to finally track him down through one of his references (he answered his phone by mistake) I learned he had signed a lease with another property and had no intention of letting me know this, leaving me hanging in the air over this issue.Gail
