I’ve researched a good number of R2 lots selling for $10-30k that aren’t wooded

Quote from @KiKi Wood: Hi Micah!

And there’s “nothing you can do you went non contingent” .. and she veb said “you can do all the inspections you want after you close and move in” She insisted we either “get a report in our name” from the same inspection company or “call the plumber who fixed the leaks prior” Now 2 days prior to closing agent sent us a disclosure saying we waive all inspection rights - home inspection waiver , wood destroying pest waiver etc. we felt remorse of overpaying in first place and we are not sure if we are making a mistake closing this home with the whole inspection thing.

I’m also having the termite damaged wood removed and replaced with new wood when I redo the back siding in the next 4 weeks.  

I’m considering using materials such as wood, PVC, conduit, or metal pipes, combined with canvas, tarp, or plastic for the covering.

In person its a place I could see maybe doing an investment or two in but its not where I really want to set up shop (I mean that literally; set up a home and also set up a wood shop - so I can build custom cabinets and stuff).If Santa Cruz, CA ever goes on sale then I'll go there and suck it up with CA laws and cost of living, but for the foreseeable future it is not even a remotely viable option; I looked at a fourplex there generating $10k in monthly income and priced at $2,700,000.

That's what I think a fair price is.It does depend on how far it is to the roofing supply store, how far it is for the workers to travel, if there's any rotting wood that needs to be replaced and how busy they are (busier = higher profit).You could buy a couple ladders, a compressor, a 100ft extension cord (14/3), 50 ft of rubber air hose, a roofing nail gun, a caulk tube a couple shingle removers and pick up some day laborers who know how to roof. 

In my case, I always tell prospective tenants ahead of time to expect an email from this site, and so far (knocking on wood) no one complained.

The Pottsville property has been really stable as of late, knock on wood.
