Thanks again for your input, and I'll probably reach out as I get further along in the process.

We haven’t really felt the effects of it yet but I think that is mainly due to the timeframe it takes for them to process claims and emotions from the devastation.

As far as whether to approach them with or without an agent - approaching them directly without an agent can save the seller probably 2.5-3% of fees, which give you some room to negotiate on the price, but you need to be confident that you are capable of evaluating the property value, estimating on the amount of work that is needed, knowing how to negotiate/ structure the deal, and navigating the closing process.

It ends when they AND their stuff is removed to the level that allows you to begin the re-rental process. 

The tenant then decided to vacate the property and leave a mess in the process.

Their team builds thousands of homes each year for investors, giving us access to great pricing, exclusive opportunities, and expert guidance.They’ve made the whole process so much easier, from connecting us with top lenders and management teams to offering tax-saving strategies and educational resources.

That can be a tough part, but isn't close to half of the process.
