Since I bought the duplex, I have noticed that ReadyREI tries to limit property viewing as much as possible, and I believe that the reason for this is clear - it is to hide issues and the condition of the property as much as possible.When I first spoke with Ready REI, I was told that they provide a “turnkey” house, that nothing needed to be done to get it ready for occupancy.

my experience in SC which is basically limited to building about 35 new builds in Charleston market and funding a few flippers up by Augusta and a few flips in N.
