Definitely a great town to plant an Investment flag. 

This could save thousands, but might add so much red tape that it may not be worth. 

I am worried that my property expenses will leave me in the red because of the current costly housing market.

Do you think this storm will cause prices to finally decline in the once red hot short-term rental market in Florida?

I also stated that if they harmed the home in the process of these repairs, by not using a licensed and trained professional, it would cost me extra.They responded saying they don't feel I can unilaterally request that a tenant not make these repairs, and they would not notify the tenant to cease work.As it stands, I am allowed to have a contractor who is competent look at the job, quote it, but I am not allowed to do the work with that person, until the tenant has had a shot at it.I cannot believe how basically unprofessional, and dangerous this situation is for all parties involved and want confirmation as the woman who works at this management company has no legal degree, and is constantly attempting to wave the legal flag like an expert.

We used to leave a bottle of Proseco and sometimes a bottle of French red wine. 

So $1,200 appraisal would be a red flag for me in itself.

In fact, using cost segregation results in an unusually high depreciation deduction, which IS an IRS audit flag.

No one is missing opportunity with the land bank properties, it is just surrounded with red tape and corruption.

Financing either is a bad idea and will raise a red flag with a lender who will look at sources and uses of the loan request.
