I know this area and how difficult it is to sell the big homes. no one wants to restore them.

S/he wrote about sunrises at the beach front property, sipping lattes while enjoying a massage.  

This would leave me with $10,000 cash in hand, and a fully restored HELOC ready for the next deal.

If you want PM me your phone number, we should talk by phone, I'm a fire restoration contractor in the OC looking for fix and flips just like this. 

I have significant financial background from my work as division manager and in business development at TRW (now Northrop Grumman), over 18 years, and have also managed my own manufacturing business (Gates2U, of Maryland) from 2003-2015, and Urban Revivals (Victorian restoration specialist in downtown DC) from 2003-2008.

I'm considering finding investors who can fund the restoration or considering simply assigning the contract to an investor in MHP's, as I haven't done anything like this yet. 

I enjoy creating and restoring things and helps to keep my mind working.

We restored it to the original Pine color at the recommendation of multpler flooring guys, based on the type of wood.

I've already caught myself trying to massage the numbers on some properties to work better cause I am itching to get my first deal.

For an ARV at $125k you would need to offer $75k to make 15% on an all cash offer at a full restore approx at $20k.
