I've been looking for one in the cape and farmington area for a few months now.

The repair cost will probably be less than the deductible, and who wants a black mark with the insurance company?

To get it in that condition would be roughly (and I've estimated high on all of it)Upgrade to hardwoods on second floor, and refinish first floor. 12KPaint interior 5KUpgrade appliances and plumbing fixtures. 5KUpgrade electrical fixtures (some have been upgraded to stylish black wrought iron look which is popular here) 2KNew HVAC first floor (second floor HVAC replaced already) 5KLandscaping 5K (this may be really high, but I figure it pads the other numbers in case something comes up)Total rehab 34KSo we've had some investors come and look at the house and offers range from 290-300K.

If you use the ones that look like tile, they have the splits in the grout lines and no matter how hard you try you are going to have black lines (where the grip strips meet) here and there in the grout lines.

There's no black magic, you just need to be sure to send money to the right place.

I have been investing in Cape May and Atlantic Counties now for 18 months and the one thing that I haven't found is a reliable wholesaler.

The devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey could result in 300,000 new mortgage delinquencies, with 160,000 borrowers becoming 90 days or more past due, according to a new forecast from Black Knight Financial Services (BKFS).This new forecast is based on a comparison to the 2005 damage left by Hurricane Katrina, when mortgage delinquencies in FEMA-designated disaster areas across Louisiana and Mississippi soared by 25 percentage points and peaked at over 34 percent.The areas impacted by Harvey have twice as many mortgage properties as those impacted by Katrina—Black Knight estimated there are 1.18 million mortgaged properties in Hurricane Harvey-related FEMA disaster areas, with $179 billion in unpaid mortgage balances.
