I love to micromanage and rebuild the home and change layouts and pick out granite and design the bathrooms, etc. it's a rush for me.

I grew up working on farms, buildings barns, rebuilding and fixing houses, and I've done everything from roofs to drywall inside, so I love the idea of getting a place and fixing it to rent for even more than before, or possibly even flipping it.

One normally rebuilds with insurance money, thus the house is new and gets sold at market price or they continue to rent it.

I would liquidate every property that does not have positive cash flow and rebuild your investment portfolio.

All you can do at this point is start rebuilding your credit.

Lots of old houses but the surrounding area is going through a re build and lots of historic houses in town.

But we also want to keep them honest regarding what a reasonable fee would be for the work they did.We otherwise always have received written bids for work we've had done (plumber, abatement, and rebuild for this issue, as well as roof leaks, AC repair, etc.).

In some areas, in the event of a total disaster that wipes out the structure(s), the re-build would have to be conforming; so the rebuild might have restrictions to consider.  

The only thing is I have zero time to rebuild properties or do much managing on them.

Thank you, Nick, working on leads now...have  few...luckily we moved to a seaside community in NJ ravaged by Sandy (that came out wrong...I meant there was opportunity to rebuild the town, not good that people lost homes).
