If you don't have a point person AND a contractor, I would not do value add.

There WILL be a lot of shady contractors coming out of the woodwork so be careful.You can message me and I’m happy to talk through it with you and offer whatever advice I have.

Also, you could do side jobs through WI Contractor & Handyman Club. 

If the number is really high than the contractor may not want the job.

@Troy Sheets are these GCing yourself, or are you hiring a contractor?

Curious to know how you are getting to the other side and actually getting a quote back to purchase the certificate or deed (in AL that is).Thanks in advance for sharing and hope you are enjoying this cool yet sunny GA weather!

If you are buying it for yourself and then renting, the outskirts of Austin, maybe in San Marcos, near Texas State (bigger than UCLA), would be a great place to buy, leverage, and enjoy some nice appreciation down the road.

We opened insurance claims and received insurance checks in 2023, had the roof, fence, AC, windows replaced with partial payments done in Dec 2023 and the bulk of contractors paid in 2024. 

I have a house that was built with local lumber flooring white oak in the late 50s, and my HVAC contractor went through a dozen blades making the cutouts when we added central air. 

Enjoy the conference!
