Even rock salt, epsom salt or motor oil will do the trick I'm told.

There are diagonal cracks running through some of the sheet-rock.  

I don't actually know where to even star besides the basics. 

Lol looks like what we find here in Portland, OR - several decades ago there was an invasion of denim-clad homeowners with Big Hair who decided to cover all the hardwoods with garish carpets, possibly because carpet was less likely to get dented when they dropped their pet rocks.

Flip Flops & TravelMy goal when I got into real estate was to be able to wear flip flops every day, wake up whenever I want, and be able to travel. If Not Now, When?I've been back and forth on the right time to do...

If the numbers aren't rock solid, walk away.If you do go through with it, another option is that you could act as a private lender, getting ~10% interest while the deal is going on, and switching to 50/50 ownership after you refinance your money out upon completion of the rehab.

Why not househack on your place, you'll gain experience of how it is to live in a construction project, like finding sheet rock dust in your coffee, or stepping over a roll of carpet at night to get to the bathroom or tripping over a power cord. 

(it's in the country, out side the city limit)I own 1.5 acres of commercial land(D) in Little Rock, Arkansas (1 hour away) free and clear and it's worth about $22,000 (it's in the city) that I am currently renting the land to a business for $150 a month where they sell portable buildings.

Having said that, any advice and suggestion is very welcome, especially in Dade and Broward Areas.BP, You Rock my World!
