Accordingly, I elected NOT to pursue defamation charges or to recover the almost $400 electric bill that I paid while the property sat vacant. 

I lead every stage of the development from the rezoning of the property, handling all the communication with architects and engineers.

Anything with major work like kitchens , baths, structural, electrical, plumbing, etc will likely roll into more time...Where did you get the 3-4 months timeline?

The study identifies with forensic engineering detail the immediate Bonus Depreciation 5, 7 and 15-year personal property class lives qualifying portions of a building that are normally buried in 27.5 year residential or 39 year commercial categories.

I like to use data, coming from an engineering background, and I see the data and trends over history, this can be used as a guide only to help with investment decisions (it’s not a guarantee but another tool to use). 

The place is overgrown and currently not liveable but is on a town road and has water/electric/sewer.

I'm an engineer by degree so a methodological, data driven approach was important to me.  

Now in most cases the same renovation will require an engineer report, and full architectural drawings….I recently had to obtain structural drawings and complete special inspections for a rear trex deck….Just a few examples of costs someone will incur flipping a house in Philly.

Electrical - Hopefully the electrical has been updated.  

The house will need new interior everything - plumbing, electrical, kitchen, bathroom, walls, etc.
