The previous owner paid to tear out the old walls, dealt with the mess and had a dumpster remove it so again, if you are doing more than paint and flooring, a property that has been gutted makes your job easier (and saves you money). 

If your upgrading to a new property (larger home), job transfer or a extenuating circumstance of a life change, lenders will underwrite the loan as a primary in a make sense scenario. 

Great job Jacob!

I will also have a FT job, at least until I can replace my income....We would need to raise some capital / find partners because we couldn't afford a down payment of the size we are thinking by ourselves.Looking to network in Maryland!

The $60,000 renovation budget presented a clear opportunity to add value.

Probably crazier things have happened.Replatting would be the job of a surveyor, not your realtor.I think it is easier to fix your rolodex. 

Great job @Morgan Menlove ! 

AI will be able to replace all repetitive labor jobs first and then more complex jobs.

Smart to be looking down the coast at a few markets for opportunities.

There are so many opportunities on market that are open for negotiation .
