Aside from the obvious dangers, I’m seeking best practices and how experienced investors  in this area handle hurricane damage?

I think it goes back to your original statement  each state and then each county can have different rules for how they handle these funds.I know Oregon likes to gobble them.. 

Hi Fergus,If you can handle the workload thats going to come with building the two duplex's, I say go for it.If your going to be biting off more than you can chew, liquidate.It really depends on your risk tolerance at this point.The construction loan is a doable deal as long as you have solid credit, have experience /hire a builder.

I would like to know, if you have good success with Property Management teams in Huntsville market as my property in in C area(35810) and like to get a very good team who can find good tenants and handle the property well.Also, if you had general contractors who you had success with as well, as I am looking to do new flooring to this home. 

They could only handle 1 or 2 clients at a time so the rest would go to crap.

If an investor wants to handle work (e.g., kitchen renovations), it's generally allowed as long as it doesn’t directly benefit you personally.If you need tailored tax advice, we’re here to help.

The company she uses handles the entire transaction.

Walk-through and Rehab ConcernsI’m confident in our ability to handle the rehab, especially with my mom’s hands-on experience with home repairs and the expertise we can pull in from family members (GC, plumber, etc.), and my few years of experience in the past as an apprentice plumber.

Had some vacancies which is normal, some major capital expenses handled easily but nothing drastic happened. 

We like having a full handle on all scenarios. #1 we aim to buy and hold forever. #2 we like the future potential for 1031. #3 would be selling the property and taking the tax hit.
