As I'm sure you can imagine, it's been incredibly difficult for even the claims adjustors to gain access to the properties.

You would gain some much insight just by starting there. 

Remember, thinking long-term and taking imperfect action is key to building wealth and gaining experience.Good luck!

To stand on a person’s property and blatantly misrepresent to gain access is most agitating.

Really just trying to build a solid base and gain as much knowledge as possible and eventually specialize in something.  

Your satisfaction is my goal, i have been servicing these contracts without any gains.

As many have said the status of the relationship between GC and owner will carry a lot of weight in terms payment terms.

In any market that you're looking into from OOS, it's very important to work with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

I predict that the guys who are fully leveraged and cash flowing $100 per month will be motivated sellers when the next big correction happens.actually its either them or they walk and its their lenders selling that is what happened in that time period.. and was pronounced in certain markets.for me personally  I don't want to risk  my credit and finances and borrow 75k to make 1200 a year... or even 2400 a year if its a market that has a history of no appreciation and I don't feel there is going to be any significant appreciation.. 2 to 3% a year does not cut it.but I will take 500 a month negative or 10k a month negative if I think there are huge gains at the other end.. 

The difference would depending on your exact deal though, each of those are weighted differently.
