Does anyone know of good zip codes in those areas that will narrow my search for deals?

I would say narrow down the scope a bit more before talking to an architect.

The rate is slightly higher because it is a top to bottom clean in a narrow window of time.VRBO- Takes a cut of every rental 3%You also need to outfit the home for someone to live in, which means the upfront cost is higher as you need everything someone living there would have (furniture, pots, pans, plungers, etc).

I have it narrowed down to the one I like so far of the companies I've talked with but thought I'd ask just incase. 

You will get some good offers, I advise you to narrow them down to three and call those banks/brokers.

I need to know what areas are the problem areas to narrow my searches down.
