Jeff,Cape Coral, fl is known to be the defective drywall capital of the country.

I'm a local to Fort Myers/Cape Coral, with a 7 year hiatus in the Smokies of East TN, and I am looking to start investing in either area (with an emphasis on SWFL since it's where I'm currently residing).I own a small ecommerce business which I am still focusing on growing, but I'd love to start adding cash flowing properties to my portfolio. 

That will be stated in black and white in the 100 pages of paperwork you get to esign once you go into contract.Please ensure you build the very unlikely, but possible, possibility of prison into your risk premium calculations.

Be glad to work with you if you are interested.We also love the Asheville area and I went to Owen High School in Black Mountain.

@Nicole Smith That's just such BS or incompetence....simply black out any personal info, or not send those pages, and the bank doesn't send out a "redacted" copy for the buyers...how stupid.

I purchased a SFH in Cape Coral area in 2010 when the market tanked for 61k.

Really pleasant tenant so I took a shot on accepting their two black labs.  

*combined with theirs an extra building lot would be created *Our house..which is an antique cape completely rebuilt after a fire.* It would make their land into a more cohesive piece.The access that they currently have is challenging..it would cost a great deal to get water and electric that far ( if they even want to do that).

My name is Paul, and I'm from Cape Coral, FL, and completely brand new to all of this, but extremely excited to find out where this road goes!
