MF with many garages to convert to ADUs, parcel splits, full on development, coop/tic with the resources to handle financing challenges, etc.To raise money in this market as a newby will also be challenging unless you can get it from friends and family.

The holidays are a magical time, full of family gatherings, laughter, and... real estate deals?

The other is a full day drive, or a short/cheap direct airplane flight and we have family that lives nearby. 

However the cost is much less than a full demo.

You really do never know who is living next door...or driving down the street after having a fight with their wife, or....well you get the point. 

One that I'm getting close (hopefully) to the end of, was a flip that was a public nuisance property with two lots on either side full of junk (like 10 dumpsters worth..)There was great opportunity with the house, but we bought the other lots as well and cleaned them up (as no one would ever buy the house with those lots filled with junk). 

One way to do this - just go on VRBO (and AirBnb, for full homes) and see where there are existing listings.

If you prefer to be hands-off with full-service management, then I'd plan on paying around 20% commission as that's pretty common.

To make it even worse, my attorney has advised that the 90 days has to be three full calendar months (in his interpretation) - meaning that the 90 days starts from the 1st of the month following your notice to them.

All the rest can be subbed out unless you are doing a full remodel by adding square footage to the house/converting a space (bath/bed etc).
