And if get real lucky, new siding, windows, garage doors to boot.

And, to-boot on LWO I could actually press any property maintenance onto seller.

Why not own short term rentals in beautiful Puerto Rico and get a tax advantage to boot?  

@Myrtle Mike Thompson hit in on the head.we did around 145k in our two beach houses this year but we bought two 4/4's for $570k that are worth around 1.2mm right now and used mostly cash, leverage of around 200k from a portfolio- total on them.deals are out there but in my opinion you need a good realtor for boots on the ground and insert yourself into the market your looking to buy.

A little about me: I'm a two-time combat veteran with the US Air Force.

Hi everyoneAgent, Boots and contractor are needed I’m out of state investor looking to connect with a super friendly investor agent in Jax, also would love for your recommendations for Boots and your best construction guys Please send me in the comments or DMThanks for your help!

They are combative and blaming the client and I'm sure they are never giving out ANY refunds.

If you dont want to hire a new PMC now, try to find help aka "boots on the ground".

having market knowledge and boots on the ground in Buffalo as you noted is definitely a plus, but there is just so much competition right now, even for the most distressed assets. 

Using comp sets and other tools I do not even fully understand through LSI tools I can price properties super competitively against competition.3 - Obviously boots on the ground you can trust is a huge portion, and we have 24 hour guest communications.Best of luck, keep up what you are doing as you are doing more than most owners or PMs even.
