Had received an email from this group and spoke with them on the phone yesterday. 

The building tradesmen are busy too, but I just called ABC and got the name of a guy who buys alot of bitumen roofing so as to get a quote on a leaky patio cover, got a guy to bid cement board skirting on a stick house by calling Palm Harbor mfgr home sales center, got a card from a guy working across the street doing drywall repair and put it in my phone.

Be sure to have the gas, water and sewer lines inspected as these may be dug up or collapsed - and very expensive to replace/repair.

Kept those agents motivated to answer the friggin phone

Hey Zahra,Have a lot of clients working down there and you are correct, it has become a great place for investors.Biggest differentiator that I have seen has been on appraisals after the repair.

No physical maintenance or repairs.

Is there anybody doing PadSplits there who's willing to get on the phone or a zoom call with me?

Despite facing setbacks, including a year-long renovation process, I tackled the repairs, improved the interiors, and addressed all concerns.

There are ups and downs with any property and there will always be variables with tenants, rents, repairs etc.

Purchase price: $74,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $145,000 I acquired a property from a couple needing to relocate, with significant repairs required.
