Small fish in the end game, and the current arv with current housing prices is around 500k so I’ll still win.

Hey @Denise Frazier, I'd second what Jeremy said above . . . fish from the contractor pool in Knoxville (I sure hope they won't refuse to work there), or clean it up and wholetail it (wholesaling, but to a retail end user via the MLS usually). 

@Savannah White Go Hokies!!!

@Richard Fish I would consult with a local real estate attorney that specializes in land lord tenant law.

Bathrooms or kitchen counters.Not grounded, buy a fish tape at home depot. ($15-$30) you are lucky the upstairs is already good.

@Mike LambertYes, I agree it is a good idea to shift from long- to short-terms in tourist areas.I am currently fishing for a seller in Acapulco willing to sign a master lease-option so I don’t have to wait on the sidelines until my long-terms sells.And I also have my eyes set on a couple of developments in Tulum.

Also, successfully investing there isn't like shooting fish in a barrel.

Thanks David and yes he is right: I think you will get really more good advice on here... but unfortunately we are fishing at this point... as there are a lot of moving parts and someone that knows what they are doing should take lead on this: someone that can help you ask the right questions of the city, building and safety and to go onsite and see what you are working with. 

Its a good destination for people to be in nature plenty of fishing and hunting opportunities, Bethel Woods and the new Resorts World Casino are there. 

I have had so many hobbies in my life that I am a jack of all trades master of none.I love surfing but I am not a pro, I love running but I would never win a race, I love baseball, hiking, fishing, golfing.
