Take comfort in the fact that action is the clearest way to progress.

However, much to my surprise, there was relatively no impact to the progress of the deal and rehab as a result.

My agent recommended a great property manager prior to closing and I got her involved early on to assess the repairs she felt would add value.

The house has a tax-assessed value of roughly 300K, a Zillow FMV estimate of roughly 350K and I have a signed agreement with my friend for 225.I think there is value there but after having been through the house a couple of times and having shown it to a contractor for advice on a renovation, I'm not sure how best to get that value out of it.

Buy and hold investor that's finally beginning to make progress with real estate after years of military moves with buy and holds.

I'm sure there will be scrutiny of evictions filed after the CARES Act expires.Reminder - ensure if you are filing an eviction which is covered by the CARES Act that the tenant ledger does not assess legal/court fees or late fees for the term covered by the act.

Playing poker there are signals sent to other players called "TELLS".Until you have control of a deal, don't talk, keep your cards close to yourself  and mute your comments.It's nice to be friendly, but this doesn't help when you are trying to control a deal.You need to find the owner of this estate, who is it assessed to, where are they, has it been listed in the past, is it in tax sale.

Again, assess your demographics.
