The home is totally damaged from fire, where it would need extensive repairs, likely a rebuild.

We will be tearing down the property and then re-building so all the hours spent on that can contribute to the hours needed to qualify as a REP?

The quote for 4k+ sounds like mostly shower rebuild cost after tearing it down, which might not be necessary.Did the plumbers tell you what the the problem is?

I got back a drop in the bucket and have been trying to rebuild ever since.

However, the appraiser says that the stairs are of safety concern, and I need to be rebuild to code.

I hear you @Nathan Moore: I'm also currently working on (re-)building my U.S. portfolio from abroad (Medellín, Colombia right now)!

It’s in an area where OKC demolished some historical black neighborhoods to make room for the health center and interstate, and it’s finally starting to get momentum to rebuild.

Hey @Peter Thyen I took know all about the stressors of rebuilding a property and managing it from our of state.

After the rehab/rebuild is finished what would the most lucrative option be?
