Don is pissed because he tries hard to be really credible on here, but he got his ego destroyed with a recent post that he just couldn't comprehend till an other user had to really break it down for him. 

Overall though, I didn't see any buildings completely destroyed or anything like that  

If it's a major storm and destroys hundreds or thousands of homes, then it could have an impact on that particular market.

We then bought a home destroyed by fire, built a new home, lived in it for 2 years, and flipped it. 

Make sure its repairable.Make sure there are funds from the tenants or rents to cover all this.And remember what this will also bring... destroyed moldings, carpet, walls, flooring, etc.I just closed on the above SFR last Thursday.

If left unchecked wood destroying fungi will promote deterioration of the wood floor system.

Other investors have told me: buy close to the $200,000 price point because property values are unlikely to take a huge drop (not as far to fall) unlike buying a $400,000 (or more) property but buying the more expensive property you'll less likely have tenant management issues (e.g. someone paying $2500 in rent will less likely destroy your property than someone paying $800 to $1000 rent).

In fact, they rather poop smack in the middle of the living room, pour concrete down the drain and destroy the cabinetns than sell... let alone sell at a discount.I get a ton of motivated seller leads.. as in ACTUALLY motivated sellers, and only a FEW of my leads are in foreclosure, tax issues, liens, tired landlords.. only a handful.Lists inherently don't work!
