So, even if the amount you wish for is a little over that is can be advantageous to tackle it in small claims court without a lawyer and seek the maximum allowed in small claims court.

The property needs about $15k in rehab before tackling the kitchen (hvac, roof, windows).How much value does this add to a property?

I think it's in a good area far enough, yet close enough to the coast/attractions to be used for either a long-term rental or vacation rental.I'm in search of referrals for reliable roofers, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors who could help me tackle the following projects in the Melbourne area:Full roof replacement with a metal roof ($$)Plumbing is functioning, but to make the investment last both as a rental and for re-sale, a full drain/main and water line replacement ($$), and possibly updating one of the bathrooms.A few small electrical repairs I don't think I could do on my ownThe rest is just cosmetic/dated fixes and landscaping which I can tackle on the weekends, but could possibly hire out to a contractor

Thank you all for your input, toured the one property the other day and unfortunately I don’t think it’s something that I can financially tackle. 100 yr old property with extremely deferred maintenance.

I appreciate the honesty and want to know how they plan on tackling this concern. 

They are free to tackle inflation without fear of driving up unemployment in a detectable way.

a vacant house is a great start but unfortunately unless you've got the direct contact information to the owner and have either made contact with them to gauge motivation, simply having a vacant list around the country isn't that unique...kent clothier has an already established vacant list that's making people a ton of money so in terms of tackling that market you'll really need to have something unique or of massive value to offer in order to get some attention in that spacegreat start though and i think you've got something cooking with that nationwide bird dog system, you may want to explore that a little further and possibly pivoting yet maintain the nationwide bird dog system...food for thought

I don't know of a coach matchmaker app.My current coach bumped rates to $1000/hr and I didn't feel I was able to extract that kind of value from our calls thus far.Examples of issues I'd tackle with a coach:- How to meet goals and tracking down the missing pieces to make them happen.- Lots of leadership/management guidance (I'm mostly lost in the woods when it comes to managing my employees)

If I were tackling this problem, I would do a new amortization table each year as the rate info became available with the new principle balance that you will have at the time of the change.

Sorry for the negative take but this is a hard issue to tackle long-distance.
