Just personally, I would never do an absentee landlord kinda thing....Too many moving parts, too much to go wrong and cuts into your profit big-time....Sentimental value is one thing, but not if you end up hating the house down the road.....Stay local, plenty of opportunities in good ole AZ.....

Do not cut corners.

You can go straight down on one block and straight up around the corner.

The flooding cuts both ways. 

Joe its all about NPV  and rate of return for investors.. either way your going to take a pretty big hair cut out of your equity to do what your wondering about. 

Best case scenario they start cutting before this happens.

@Phil SheltonYou would need a civil engineer to provide a drawing to get submitted to zoning and get a permit if it passes zoning is most common This also depends on the road - if it’s a state road forget it as it will take a year to get approved and cost a fortune - if it’s a local road process not as cumbersome but don’t expect this to happen quicklyIn some instances you may have to prepare sight distances etc to make sure it’s safe to add a curb cut

Never heard of Investor's Edge, but this sounds like a straight up scam.

I am not.Now, esteemed attorneys, please set me straight if I am wrong on this.PS.

I’ve been in contact with the Better Business Bureau about them  cut your losses and go the other way.
