Cash flow and cash on cash return looks fantastic of course, but guess why a lot of local investors who have been around the block once or twice are not buying these up as they become available?

Since that area is affected by hurricanes (like the rest of Florida), you should preferably buy block houses, and get a wind mitigation report that will tell you if the "3rd nail" has been installed. 

Once the new foundation is cured the home is then lowered back down and the beams are pulled.Can a brick or concrete block building be raised?

When the manager heard he was going to be evicted by me with a 30 day notice to quit he started threatening that he would put a construction lien to block the sale and also claiming he had a 6 month notice clause before he could be evicted.

Through questions and conversation, I find out he has FOUR SFRs within 3 blocks of a university (16000 enrollment) and after years of being a landlord, he wants out! 

I know there are other more creative solutions, but I'm having a mental block and want to get things moving. 

I am considering developing a web-based mapping platform that will allow single family home investors -- and especially their service providers/advisors -- to quickly determine suitable locations in the US to focus their investment efforts (down to the block group or subdivision). 

It really didn't seem so complicated when I started, just me and a big house that needs rehab, on the auction block.  

If not house hacking, get the worstish house on a nice block and don't be afraid if it needs some updating. 

Augusta University is growing and we have tried to stay close to the school with our purchases, but this also places us close to the downtown growing cyber area.We have a few rentals in the area and know the blocks around "the hill" very well.
