This has led to many garage businesses growing very well (like my favorite, Word Perfect, since I knew te three).

Legal issues and other circumstances have led to my family holding possession of the property despite most of the demolition having already occurred.

The property also has a 2 car garage that I am led to believe is not being rented at this time. 

The fact that you can still cover my cost, if you had led a vacancy is nice.

This led to the formation of a side business, through which I help other investors use tools and information to take the risk out of buying fixer upper properties.I've listened to just almost every BiggerPockets podcast now for the last couple years and I'm looking forward to becoming active on the forums.
