Hey Mario, We're doing several rehab loans right now...mainly in Pinellas...on Hurricane Milton-damaged homes.

Too bad you can't buy something owner-occupied, put 5% down with the best interest rate, live in it for 12 months (and fix it up), rent it out and repeat the cycle.Here's some other info you might find useful:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

If any damage arises from her negligence she will be getting the bills for damages, plus costs of collecting which you bill as well as your attorney in addition to the termination of her lease.

.- They often get sold Class C or D properties while using Class A assumptions - then wonder why they are losing money.Here's some copy & paste info that you hopefully find helpful:-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

So if you discount a small amount to get rolling, that is something that can work, but don't want to stay low for long.You will start to get the dregs staying at your place and they can do some real damage to the place.

The contractor I hired finished the Foundation work in 4 weeks and tenant started reporting damages, thefts to items in Garage which contractor denied.

Where we can see a huge opportunity is in the flood damaged properties that are selling at fractions of the retail prices.

@Tristan Kelly tenant performance and damage is what you want to watch, along with squatters & theft of mechanicals.Update us in 6 months:)

They provide fake checklists saying units are repaired according to agreed-upon inspection reports only to walk in to a home that is more damaged than it was during escrow.
