Purchased in '14 for a hair over $200K, put $20K into finishing basement, appraised for $230K in '15 and should now appraise for $260K+ based upon recent activity in the neighborhood. 

I have to say though our customer service departments in our major metros here are truly unbelievable help to the hair on fire investors.And of course we prepped our own deeds got with the seller to notarize and ran them to the courthouse to record them.. then we would courier the reinstatement cashiers check to the foreclosure trustee ( in those days based mostly in Seattle)  we had the gal at the law office on speed dial.. its was pretty exciting really.

Asbestos and horse hair used to be put into plaster to stop it from cracking.Dealing with asbestos is much worse that dealing with mold.

The hardest parts are building a cleaning team that is on point 100% of the time (that hair left in the shower?
