Your return will be minimal.If you have an eye towards the future of making the home a rental I'd steer clear of building.  

you're the captain of the boat - don't let anyone else steer, unless they're apart of the boat and are watching out you and them...don't sink (mutual vested interest).agents don't normally have foreclosure information unless they specialize in those investments or are HUD certified brokers/agents.

@Dev Paul I would suggest only doing single family homes and steering clear of condos with locations near the water.

Anyone know wheter this is worth persuing, or should I steer clear?

If you have a specific issue with a property, I can try to help steer you in the right direction.I also have a checklist for interviewing contractors if you would like it.

I would steer clear of RE eduction companies like this. 

@Chris Mason is very good on these questions (albeit for California) and could steer you in the right direction.
