I have a team of economists and analysts uncover a market in the world that is currently quiet but will be hot in the near future.

You will need a small budget for advertising, and patience will be a virtue because these types of deals can take more effort to uncover and complete.

Your lender will most likely require a title search that will uncover any liens.

I have bought properties that needed roof and sometimes we would need to get on the roof to tell if there was one or two layers of shingles, but we always new how many layers before we started the job.You also said "they looked in the attic and didn't see any need for redecking" It would be blatantly clear from looking in the attic that there was more than one layer of shingles (look at the number of roofing nails sticking through the decking).As for uncovering bad roof decking during the tear off process, sometimes you just don't know until you tear off the shingles, other times its obvious from looking in the attic or walking on the roof.Sounds like this company has taken you for a ride.

Originally posted by Account Closed: @Will Barnard it was a rehab flipper he was located out of state he sent a contractor over to check out the repairs but the foundation work was 10,000 dollars over my estimate basically the same with the first deal also If additional expenses were uncovered during your due diligence that were not easily identified upon initial walk through, you should have had the opportunity to go back to the seller to renegotiate.

Frankly, nothing is cheap around here unless you uncover the deals which is what I'm starting to attempt to do for several different purposes.Actually, the angle you come from is one I have thought about a lot.

It seems this could be put to good use uncovering properties that would be good candidates to rehab and flip.* I have math and analytical skills.

Always some uncertainties in their mind when there is changes in management/ownership- To learn about the tenants ahead of time and set plan of action after the close (ie, to keep or to kick them out :-))- To learn about the property that inspection might not uncover ...The first day of the close, I knock at the doors (and/or call first) to introduce myself, with the following:- Walk thru the property with tenant and note down inputs and existing issues- A nicely prepared folder containing: + A simple letter stating change of ownership with my contact info + The existing lease agreement I got from seller + A full sheet of sticker for my mailing address (PO Box).

They came from uncovering distressed situations that needed solutions.
