I live in the Milwaukee area and want to get started investing locally but eventually want to branch out into other cities and states.

It's hard to say offer amount without knowing the rehab part since that could blow this out the water.  

If you are willing to live in urban areas you may want to talk to a local bank in your market and see if they have any incentives or grant loans for certain areas.  

The only thing that sounds out of the ordinary here is the water bill

My name is David Burton and I live in TN!

Is the basement legally considered living space?

My cleaners take a video after every turn, my team goes in to check everything is good after cleaning and record salt and PH level logs and I have a licensed plumber who is in charge of maintaining plumbing, water heater, and boiler system with logs.

I know we all got to make a living but....

Note that water penetration is not limited to flooding from rising water levels on the ground in a weather event.

Is it an automated voice attendant, is it a call center where you are routed to someone else eventually to get an answer, or is it a live, well trained staff member?
