The initial plan was to do minor cosmetic things and bring the kitchen and bath up to date but not knowing this fact made our $5,000 budget go to $50k costing us the two year full rehab.

He'll bring $50k and I'll bring $5k. 

•Website Approach: Keep one website but create dedicated sections for each service so the messaging stays clear.

I would check the events page in your area for meet-ups on BP, I would check for local meet-ups in meetup.com, and I would get coffee with as many investors on this site that are in your area as you can to get the ability to showcase what you are willing to bring to the table for them. 

I did have experience operating LTR's to bring to the table, but even if you don't, it's not that much more complex.

As an investment, I would never consider a property that brings in only 7% of the purchase price.

You have to sell, you over leveraged, but the property has dropped in value, no lender will lend to you and you have to bring money into closing to sell the property, but you don’t have the money.

You only looked at pictures on our website; properties were never sent to you.   

Even if the rental has a decent cash flow with additional flood insurance, we're still not sure we want to take on that risk as we are out-of-state investors (planning to move back to KY in the future, but not now) and we don't like that it will potentially bring down the perceived value when we try to sell it in the future.The seller has never lived there and has not provided any information on if it has flooded before or not. 

I just got an email that my pro membership auto-renewed today and went to the website to cancel, only to have the cancellation effective 8/19/2025.
