Knowing what I know now since purchasing the California multi-unit back in 1988 and paid my share of sweat equity rehabbing and managing it from the East Coast with a workable system, I'm excited to expand and roll-up my sleeves to leverage our equity to buy vacation rental properties in Orlando, Florida for PA snowbirds and retirees and properties in the Philadelphia/Montco/Del-Chester regions.    

I’m about as understanding and opened minded as they come, with a big heart i tend  to wear on my sleeve… having said that, it just irks me that someone was so entitled as a tenant they didn’t simply not pay, but kill.

We have some fantastic and professional wholesalers here (Rob Sleeves is the guy you want to talk to there), but Fayetteville has a scourge of unethical wholesalers who are only interested in eeking out as wide a spread as possible and the accountability just isn't there like it is with brokers.

It was so cold that I actually had to put on a long sleeve shirt this morning.....still warm enough for sandals though.

@Lorenzo Jackson I don't mean to be hard on you here, and it's great that you are rolling up your sleeves and getting into the dirt to play, but honestly this is a question that anyone and everyone should have answered for themselves long before getting into a contract on a property.You might be able to get it bought and rehabbed with HM but you will get killed on fees of you can't refi with a bank and most things in the banking world, at least for a person starting out gaining financing for most things, well it's not a very speedy process and that can cause issues on it's own without adding the newbie factor to it.I wish you luck man, I really do!!

Do it HGTV style...Roll up your sleeves, renovate, and charge more for rent while getting better tenants... longer lasting tenants.Every time someone moves out, improve the property. 

I have character, pride, integrity, honor, ability, talent, passion, creativity, intelligence, wisdom, code, and as a 44 year old man and father of two young children, I still have some energy and tricks up my sleeve.
