You can’t go long periods of time especially in low income areas . 6 months is plenty long enough to destroy the inside of a house if left unchecked .

Let's say a tenant suddenly moves out without notice and destroys the place.

I was outbid on the property once by a destroyer captain, who was out at sea, so everything is possible.

During my investigation, I learned that the zoning had changed and you are no longer allowed to bring in new homes, even if the old ones were destroyed.  

So how can I get us in there without destroying their profits through tax?

Lastly, I expect my mother will need significant care in the future and I don't want her financially destroyed.

Does failure destroy your reputation and your credit?

Anybody have any thoughts or experience with these things? We have a termite bond company that identified old activity (unknown how old) but not active and wanted to charge $250 for a preventative treatment.
Thanks

I’ll PM you for sure.As an update, one thing we realized is that a HELOC on the property to be flipped (appraised for $85k) would essentially destroy our credit (large loan for a short period, closing out a line of credit after a short period).  

BAD DECISION - water runs downhill so my seal-coated and still leaking roof is destroying my ceiling and my 2 1/2 year old rehab.
