- Why would you expect a well-run, profitable PMC to work for free handling maintenance? 

I’ve been coaching new investors for a while, and I always enjoy hearing about what brings people to real estate.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

And then do a cash out refinance of the debt free property. 

Great FREE advertising!

They can't work for free forever until you have a property ready to be rented. 

@Jacob Hrip For a first-time investor, financing options like a HELOC or private funding depend on your strategy and risk tolerance.

There is risk with this approach that the tenant can have short residence or leave in Nov to January.  

So you are saying you got a crew of six people to work for free for a week?

Owners are free to sell today / tomorrow anytime but they have to initiate the sales process.. that's all the new ordnance is about.
