I currently am a resident here (so distance is non-factor) and I possess some handy skills that could save renovation costs (besides HVAC, structural issues, plumbing, electrical work).

There has never been any sort of lease signed nor has she ever paid anything more than a few electric bills which are next to nothing since he has solar. 

@Briar Blake @Sean GallagherAfter hurricane Ian we didn't have electricity or phone service.

After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.

Location, view, water, trees, electric, water.Will clear building spots and plant 100 fruit trees and 800 hardwood seedlings.  

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

I updated the electrical, painted everything, and “cleaned the property up nicely” exterior and interior.

The only thing I don’t do is electrical work.Now that I’m in the U.S., I want to focus on house flipping as a way to break into real estate investing.

For example how much to reserve for management fees (I don't have time to host myself), cleaning, electricity.  

Most of our clients are professionals - physicians, attorneys, software engineers.
