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.

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.

A phone call will answer all the questions or a quick visit is better, set an appt. 

Focus on distressed properties needing cosmetic upgrades where the after-repair value (ARV) justifies the rehab costs.Good luck!

Find out who has good Google Reviews (and responds to them), find out who answers their phone, find out who has a polished and professional website, etc.
