Cameron Gaskill with Suncoast Renovations is a great resource as he is a contractor and investor himself.

You bought a house for $100,000.

AshleyNormal, however you have wide latitude in the actual agreement you agree to sign, how long, how much commission, that’s not to see individual agents have to agree to your terms, but if you feel uncomfortable with the terms you are free to negotiate or shop around, however an agent cannot legally show you a house without an signed agreement of some sort. 

However, the new Community Development Grant (CDG) program simplifies access to critical funds, offering three distinct grant categories:-Small Grants (up to $250,000)-Medium Grants ($300,001 to $5 million)-Large Grants (over $5 million)These grants can support a wide range of projects, including office, retail, cultural, industrial, and mixed-use developments of more than 10+ housing units with ground-floor retail.

Now they have come to realize that the renovation costs are much higher than expected and are looking for suckers who would be willing to pay a lot for buildings that have sat empty for years and have blight liens against them?

I’m thinking of starting my 2nd 1031 as I move away from these cheaper/smaller houses. 

I have heard it's relatively consistent with cheap housing (cash flow comes to mind).

He told me he had inherited the property from his dad and was using it to "make tiny houses".

So which of these houses should I live in? 

After many years being out of the house biz I'm getting back in and seeing a lot more competition for leads.
