@Theo Hicks most of the people I work with are in the heart of Tampa especially if its something you plan on holding onto for while.

If you aren't clear on it, I would bet they have no idea either. 

The rungs of the ladder are analogous to your rafters.  ...Anyway, you get the idea.

Great idea.

@Shawn Morey can you give me an idea on what services and how your VA scrub and pull the leads?

Issue with ALL the new tenant-protection laws being passed is that they put 100% of everything new on the landlords - while not holding tenants accountable for anything new:(So, a tenant can still move out and break a lease whenever they want, with little repercussions.

to give some feedback, you will need to estimate the cost to repair the house; if you don't know how to do that, we just need some  information of what the house needs and the sqft of the propertyIf the house is, as an example, 2500 sqft, and It looks like you are stuck in time back in the 1980s, but the AC is working,  the roof is ok, and there are no foundation, plumbing, or electrical issues; I can assume maybe a $20 per sqft, so the rehab is about $50K to 60KIf the ARV is 290K minus 10% closing/holding costs, - minus 20% profit - $50K rehab, ideally, in this example, I need to buy the house for about $150K to flip it, but as a landlord, I may be able to pay a bit more, as long as rehab is not too much, and rental is about $3,000 to $3,500 a month
