I have GIANT not in hurry list I give my head guy every couple weeks so he and the crew are either turning, fighting fires or working on my list.Matt

With fire damage and an addition that is "coming apart" plus a total plumbing job on what is probably a giant 2-family?

Its rental market is also robust, owing to its diverse economy and significant military presence.Lakeland: Lakeland is emerging as a hotspot, especially with giants like Amazon and other major companies setting up shop here.

Kitchen looked good though And hallway between kitchen and den, there was some work done at some point...So first Red Flags were a giant leak in the laundry room ceiling causing the drywall to be torn down, water is not turned on, so plumbing might need to be entirely redone (quickcrete in the plumbing).

as a flipper and broker in WI (marketing my 20th flip) the best deals rarely come from MLS in Hot and heating up markets, cuz every Tom Dick and Harry comes out of the woodwork with no idea where else to look, they say, "hey we should flip a house, like on TV" so the easy ones get driven up in price, and your margins driven down. that being said, I have flipped listed properties, (6 i think) and have made ok margins, but the ones that were fantastic were acquired through other means.

You didn't state if either of these were your primary home, but if one is....then a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) for that property.Just in case, a LOC or HELOC acts as a giant credit card. 

Hi Dick,Could you elaborate please?

When you inevitably get a call because they saw a GIANT spider at 2am and YOU have to come fix it.

@Dick Stevens, where can I learn more about this?

Today we came home and there was a giant gaping hole in the floor that my dog almost fell through.
