My engineering professor always told this story:"A company was having issues with the engine in one of their vessels.

Find out what specifically is preventing the property foe passing appraisal and get bids from contractors to check for feasibility of a HomeStyle Renovation or possibly a 203k if you will occupy one of the units.

But now that we are aware of real estate being a vessel to building wealth and time freedom for the family, I’m trying to figure out the best strategy in San Diego, if there is one to consider. 

I work 12 hours a day on a vessel for a month at a time, with two weeks in between trips.

I am a huge LSU Fan and know I will probably run into some other SEC foes here so I promise to keep it civil.

Even if you're not interested, they're worth contacting for informational purposes to get a better understanding of the market.SFHs and condos are obvious choices, but there are other less expensive options: mobile homes- not the working class MHPs found throughout the country, there are parks that cater to snowbirds RV/campers- there are folks who drive down yearly and others that leave it permanently parked down here liveaboards- this can be very cheap, the vessel doesn't even need to be seaworthy (so long as it floats :)Florida can have an almost irresistible appeal this time of year.

Just started wholesaling back in October and closing on my foes deal very soon.

I looked into Fort Valley, but I figured students would prefer to be close to campus and didn't find much foe sale that met my profit criteria and seemed worth the effort.  

You'll have less competition.If you buy before the auction, you'll have a better chance of getting a private lender to finance the purchase IF you need cash.Most taxing authorities will work out a payment plan for the back taxes - some will charge 0% interest if you agree to an automatic back draft foe the monthly payments.

My day job is a project manager for marine vessel construction at shipyards ($20-$60m projects), so I am familiar with delay penalties.
