Very nice suburb area outside of Dallas and I'm very much ready to get in the real estate game!

I feel I'm finally ready to spearhead my own project.

This may be to deliberately prevent discovery of other electrical issues or prevent fire/injury.You will need some form of hard money or construction financing to purchase the property as is, and you will need to get the property occupant-ready to pass an appraisal before permanent financing is on the table.

As a realtor in the Boston area for the last ten years, and successful AirBnB owner up in NH, I’m ready to shift my focus to building a strong cash flowing portfolio.  

Leave the owners alone, when and if they are ready to sell, they will, and there will be plenty of lots to choose from on the MLS.I have no statistics to back this up, but in my casual observation after our fire is about 1/3 of the owners rebuilt their homes (some built similar, some duplicated exactly--big mistake, and some built better/nicer/larger homes). 

Cost to get units ready to lease out again? 

I know an investor that might partner with you on the lot next door and/or may buy your lot without the title policy.I have already got the deed for that lot and another lot that i bought.. the second one is not waterview but it is .694 and soon to be listed on the MLS for 18k.. im still waiting for the lady to come and see hers and say shes ready to sale.. her family was affected by the hurricane and hopefully she will be able to head this way soon.. ive started to try to wholesale here in jasper and have several deals lined up but cant find any investors in my area looking to buy.. i just now saw this or would of replied along time ago.. i dont know how to do the mentions with the @.. every time i try it dont work 

I think buying attractive, move in ready properties and possibly making small updates to make them look more stylish is the way to go.

At the closing date, we had a tenant ready to move in.

I would never put in a gas range, oven, dryer or any other consumer product for tenants, because a lot of them are idiots and will kill themselves or someone else.
