Compare my plumber to another "hot shot" developer I know who ended up over extending himself and filed bankruptcy, maybe the plumbers are doing better than that fast growing developer...  

I'm underwriting a building now that's in a salt air city, a block from the beach. 

Find the hot spots, those charming neighborhoods and coveted areas where short-term rentals are in demand.

I’m active duty Air Force…I look forward to hearing more about your journey.I wish you all the best.

Hi Jonah...Huntsville is such a red hot market right now.

Also, there is no visible mold and no mold smell in the basement (there is a little on the caulking beneath a single pane picture window upstairs which I'll deal with).That didn't sit too well with the tenants as they have been looking online and finding information about how dangerous it might be, and it didn't help that the first report that I had done the inspector attached a boilerplate message recommending a full HVAC cleaning (ducting is 1 year old) HEPA vacuum, air scrubbers, double washing everything in the unit with bleach, etc. so now the tenants are being fairly combative and insisting that more needs to be done.

They heard nothing I said.. they just wanted me to move the trellis so they can have air in their window and the dog can look at the wildlife in MY yard.

Columbus is definitely a hot market for investing!

I’m active duty Air Force as well.

If you didn't specify, then the person you were talking to might have thought you were just talking about a short term rental / Air B&B.
