I look forward to learning all that I can so that I can begin in my own path of restoring my community.My main goal is to uplift my community and shift the mind set that "It will always be this way."

I wanted to use a contract that I plan to work with in the future, but you're correct @Mark Gallagher in that I may have chosen to only have them as my mold remediators (for two houses getting mold remediation of all exterior and interior walls I figured $20K was pretty reasonable btw) and I was going to get a different contractor for the house restoration and remodel as I felt his quotes were a bit high.

I'm trying to get the ugly picture in my head.The property needs a gut job full restoration and is surrounded by vacant lots and crummy streets,is that right?

A few years back I restored a very important home in Cobb County known as the Cheney-Newcomer House circa 1856.

GC: Scott Tovin from Ross Brothers Construction Roofer:  German Duarte from Florida Quality Roofing Mold / Restoration: Johnny Mackey from All Dry USAYou can find all of them on google, but if not, feel free to contact me.  

There seems to be no end to the number of folks who get in this without proper consideration.My "expensive" houses that i so lovingly restored and am proud of just don't"cap rate" like the little dinky, inexpensive ones.

Jason Mak we are operating in the class A world, and have written a $200 "Restoration Fee" into our leases.

UPDATE:  After a long week of waiting I finally got news that only the front bedroom took on water and they have a bid for $4500.00 to restore it.  

Great to see you are doing flood restoration.

I should wait for water to be restored before renting it out??
