It's like drafting a rookie QB and expecting to win the Super Bowl his rookie year.Based on the tax increase, my assumption is you chose a great appreciating neighborhood and have a similar mentality to me. 

I am betting a lot of media is going to be coming out of how under insured people were because to be fully covered was "too expensive".

You have to play in order to win, but if you never get in the game in the first place that in and of itself equals failure.

If someone is willing to pay you $500k / year, I'd bet that you're a pretty high value / hard working person.

They are $1100 we get for about half price so its a win win.

I will post case info when we win.

I found a win - win situation for the corporate owner, the rail road land owner, and the community who were plagued by the vagrants steeling and causing mischief.

Your best bet is to get on the phone, get multiple opinions, multiple quotes, and make decisions on the type of build before pulling the trigger.

And definitely not, getting even 1 property in 2025 it'll be a win.

Looks like biting the bullet and getting an engineer may be my best bet.
