Bob and Frank - just found your posts here.  

He is nowhere to be found.

We found the deal on market and felt the numbers worked for our investors.

Using my knowledge, I estimated the remodel cost, Found the estimated Resale value using comps.

Found a good deal on a bed frame.https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/45796380  Zinus Lottie 43" Upholstered Platform Bedframe, Queen in Grey

While there is some predictability in certain outcomes/situations - what we have found is the "path to least resistance" meaning the less the borrower has to do the better.

I have taken parts of the Michael Blank program and found it very educational.

All of the tenants have to pay in order for me to keep afloat, so it can also be stressful.The tenants have a number that they text I check, and I have found this works as I can have a written record of all correspondence from each and all our conversations (what they said and what I said back) are all right there to keep track.Yes, they will lie or say they said things when they didn't.  

I lost $1,500 on one of those deals but didn’t mind because I found a better property and walked away.

I believe there’s a middle ground to be found, and I remain hopeful for the next three to five years.Has anyone heard from friends, family, or fellow investors expressing concerns that Florida is becoming a risky place, causing them to shy away from buying?
