It would be foolish that any syndication would not assume worst case scenario of rents coming in and be able to cover their debt for a fairly long period.

If you don't like it I'm sure you can get bids to remove it fairly cheaply, then put up your Hardy plank, or whatever.

I believe most of your properties were in the 39204 zip which is more problematic. well actually the majority of our properties were south Of McDowell and between Cooper although we had a fair amount between 20 and Mcdowell as well.. that whole area from 20  . we owned over 200 homes there.  

Calculator only favors 1 person in my experience... only way to be fair is price check the materials and look at labor numbers basically kinda gotta train yourself to be a gc calculate it on your own and shop gcs till one fits your #  

The house is in really good shape and the area looks fairly clean, but a couple people I've talked to have a lot of concerns of that area which is giving me second thoughts... any other locals able to shed some light?

That will still give you a fairly good chance of a profit. 

If they are VERY professional, they will have their processes in writing as verification that policies are enforced equally and fairly by their entire staff.6.

But over a long enough investing period the numbers should more or less balance themselves out and become fairly reliable.As Bruce pointed out, the alternative is to buy and remodel a piece of crap house. 

Commute - for Huntsville proper, the straight ride down 431 is fairly easy and not too congested. 

@Keon ShoularsWe’ve found a great way to raise rent is:Determine market rentShare the proof with the tenant (they can see it on Zillow anyways)Tell the tenant, given your rent is $x and market rent is $y, what do you think if a fair increase?
