I flip fire-damaged properties and own a fire damage restoration company.

That is one of my short term goals; to quit my job and make real estate my sole focus and only job.My ultimate goal is to restore some of the neighborhoods around Tampa that have been run down.

You can buy it new or go to a Construction Junction or Habitat for Humanity Restore and look for vintage cabinet/drawer hardware.

I am a residential and commercial general contractor that specializes in restoration but also have experiencein insurancerestoration.

However what he mentioned about buildings being old is true - a majority of the properties were built in the 1920s and 1930s and are within a historic district so if you are not familiar with historic building restorations it would be a challenging area to own property in.Honestly at that price point I think you will have difficulty buying in any neighborhood most would consider 100% "safe."

Immediately upon crossing 23rd to the south or 30th to the north, conditions deteriorate, sometimes rapidly, however, intermittently to the south, one finds blocks of grand old homes restored to their former glory.

@Francisco Trejo hello Francisco, I do know a very good fire restoration company, that also does flips in Modesto.

A $3,000 A/C system replacement would generally be a restoration relating to the HVAC subsystem of the building and thus capitalized, not expensed.
