My husband is leaning toward keeping it since it is a project we would have to deal with. 

I’m looking to invest in nearby areas, focusing on fix-and-flip projects and new ground-up construction.

Projects that may not make sense for some, will make sense for you if rehab cost is at 70%, comparatively.

Basically it is not 2012.Good luck

To help expedite the rental unit approval/inspection, you can also talk with your local housing provider that runs the Sec 8 program what basic items they look for and make sure you have those covered. 

In the 4 states I hold/held broker licenses, all required this knowledge (in BASIC form) for licensure, so the required educational courses should provide a decent foundation.  

I've been buried with tax preparation and a couple projects, so BP moved from the back burner to completely off the stove!

Be mindful of the harsh winters and short construction seasons, which can affect project timing.

Since they were all Facebook folks I just went with the same basic invite.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).
