Not sure about your market, but the market I operate in doesn't command that I do a flip-quality rehab if I'm going to rent out to tenants.

A large loss adjustor is going to come meet us on Monday with one of their preferred contractors to assess the damages and give us an estimate.It seems like the next step, which is probably the most important part of this process is to find a good contractor that can give both us a fair estimate to make sure the insurance company isn’t going to try and lowball us and perform quality work to restore the house.

There is also a question of material quality that can greatly affect cost to build. 

I am looking for a very good home inspector and I am willing to pay the price for quality service.

In my opinion, it seems like you have fewer headaches and fewer things to worry about since the property newer and higher quality than others (fewer things break usually right?).

However, it's a market that we're comfortable with, great schools, and high-quality long-term renters are common.

Hi BP community,I am looking to find some quality input on the idea of doing a joint venture with a contractor/investor.

I ended up selling the studio equipment because it was more for recording music and had a thousand adjustments with software.I just want the best lapel mic out of the picture for sound quality and then the best lighting for plug and play person talking type recording.

I know it might be tough to get new MHs into this park and I agree the quality of the mobile homes are probably well below average.

For a bit more rehab, could turn it into a 2/1 with an attached 1/1, and even reno the garage for another 1/1, with good rents over the winter months. 2) SCRAPE AND BUILD: On the other hand, I approached a high quality local developer who proposes we do a JV- I bring the land, he brings his reputation, expertise and oversight of the development and construction, and clients- he has several would-be buyers looking to build in the area.
