I was able to call them and give them a run down of my progress on a project and they were happy to give advice.They are just people and most don't want to cause issues for owners.

Sometime after the inspection a water leak coming from the neighbors home caused damages to the property.

This need for perpetual growth will cause the crash.Colin you say the recession is here, it's knocking.

I’m curious to see if this is a loss cause or if there are ways to turn this into an opportunity to make some money.

I was wondering the same thing cause I’m working with an agent to birddog deals for me and I’m a wholesaler.

We will lose the homestead and that will cause a re-assesment and explode our property tax, but it is what it is.  

This is causing water leaks.

Oh tell you neighbor to get ahold of his dog and take evidence of the damage caused.

What is the cause of this? 

That statement alone will cause you to move too quickly and take too much leverage which minimizes those solid investments you already have.Ask yourself, why do you want to scale faster?
