@Dave Meyer had an interesting episode on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast about 3 main resources when it comes to investments: cash, time, and experience. 

Shut off the main to the building and check the meter to see if its running , if so you have an underground leak . 

Omni Key sells mainly single family with some duplexes, and advertises off market deals on new construction and in fill properties.

(The business is doing well so i thought sell it while it’s hot) While that’s my main focus, I'm also looking for ways to invest my extra income wisely, as I want my money to work for me.

My work is mainly with investors and I co- host a women's investing in Allentown group.

As long as the property cash flows, that's what is mainly needed. 

It's not as big as New Britain, Hartford, and New Haven, but it does have a great little main st with restaurants, and the walkability that young people like, while being centrally located for people who want to get around the state for work or fun.

We hope that you can remedy the situation so that we can move into a habitable home.Suggestions that we have to fix the issues:Hire a company to rip up the carpets, treat the subfloors, and replace the carpets, at least on the main level and on the stairs.Provide an air purifier as a start to remedying the smell.Replace the garbage disposal.Hire a plumber to fix the draining issue in the bathroom sink of the smaller bedroom.Fix the tiles in the upstairs bathroom so they no longer present a safety hazard.Replace or fix the screen doors.Fix the gap between the windows and the walls in the living room.Hire a professional company to treat the entire home for pests.

I think the main thing people would point to as a red flag for Ocala is that it is not a large employment center like Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville and as a result may be more exposed to a pull back in values when there is a downturn. 

I think the main issue here, is not working with a trusted broker. 1 bad review will ruin a small broker shop's reputation.
