We rack up a lot of frequent flyer miles on our favorite airline.

It was nerve-racking to put this house on credit cards and it dropped my score significantly until we refinanced.

We added an extra bedroom, replaced the big wooden beams of the carport which were rotten and he also taught me how to do the AC/Duct system in a house with no attic and boy, IT WAS ONE HOT SUMMER!

Homes that have tons of those racked up on them can be some of the best deals ever and I actually pursue them quite frequently...

-Created an awesome walk-in wine cellar with custom wine rack built-ins and double glass doors.

The piers are wooden and have some decay.  

After the violations rack up, I bet he will be more willing to sell. 

Here were all the issues:1) Sizeable roof leak into the living room and other areas of house2) Large foundation crack 3) Extensive termite damage on wooden foundation post4) Outdated electrical, including aluminum wiring5) WET crawlspace.

If that all checks out I would work on building a local team.I’ll be honest even with people on the ground that I trusted it was still nerve racking at point for my first investment.

They also have people come over and take pictures of your place of clueless items such as your coat rack and a Christmas tree.
