then when something similar to something you have seen comes up, you'll have a much stronger idea of whether it might pan out or not.and - would walking the properties give you more info than you would get from an experienced contractor or inspector? 

The foreign company needs to have a EIN or a representative in the US with an TIN so you can look up its credit worthiness.

@Bowen Taylor Payson@Sean Pan has a meetup in San Jose, and I think it meets tonight!

(I own 150+ homes) Also I failed to mention that the existing roof is not shingles but rather that hybrid metal looking roof that resembles tin. 

Curious how this pans out. 

Thank you, MargaretChallenges: Finding a boutique local broker that is or has an agent that would be a mentor for investing/wholesaling hasn't panned out for me.

For some of the builders, this is not the first time they have done this, lol.Make sure you do plenty of Due Dilly on the next, so you are not jumping from the "frying pan to the fire" so to speak.How far along is the build?

@Frank PatalanoI live in Northern NJ and this state is just not good in general for cash flow (SFH) due to the high cost and high property taxes - 1% rule doesn’t pan out.I need to look out-of-state but with a demanding day job and newborn it seems turn-key is most realistic option in markets like Tampa, Cleveland, Columbus, Memphis, etc. wondering what others think of that approach.

I think I will replace the counter sink with a vanity with sink, get rid of the medicine cabinet/mirror, with a more modern mirror, get rid of the shower pan, and replace it with something else (suggestions?)

We might sell if the rental market doesn't pan out—so curb appeal is important.
