J Scott has collaborated with Bigger Pockets and published a very accessible guide to flipping houses The Book on Flipping Houses.It's a great place to start on where to look, how to analyze, etc.

Marc,  Our lease states we cans show the property during the notice interval, and access by the landlord is authorized for showings and inspections.The first step is to visit the property to "preview" it for the marketing, and you can note any big issues that may delay occupancy, and even stress to the residents what they could be docked for.I always tell the residents to protect their valuables because its hard to track other people's children during showings, and the more they cooperate and the faster the house leases, the less time they have to tolerate showings.I've had perfect houses occupied the next day.I've had disasters that need  six weeks to prepare.With this effort and a mid-lease maintenance inspection, there are fewer surprises.

Now that I'm expanding to the Augusta area I don't have access.  

So one day, he called 911 and said "if you don't come, something bad is about to go down".And a Sergeant was despatched.The Sergeant, bless his soul, took one look at the property, took photos with his phone, asked for access to the property which was declined by the neighbor, posted a Deputy on the gate, and went and got a search order.

What I really need is sound tax advice and access to capital.  

Hello.  I recently had a tenant get his "plumber buddy" to snake out a drain.  Apparently he made the problem even worse and know our plumber has to charge us double.  Any thoughts on what to do?  Thanks in advance.

Tub was cracked due to not being supported. 2) No access panel required by code for the pump, the pump was in the rear of the tub buried under the tub deck. 3) No thermostatic anti-scaled mixing valve required by code for the roman tub filler 4) No dedicated circuit for the pump required by the manufacturer, the electrical for the tub was piggy backed on the vanity lights 5) no GFCI protection on the tub as required by code  6) no grounding of the tub motor as required by code 7) ABS drain glued to PVC drain pipe with ABS glue 8) the tub valve connections  uried with no access were IPS threaded stainless steel flexible water lines instead of hard sweated copper connections, (lost count on all the shark bites they used, they must buy them in bulk) 9) all the tile was tiled directly on the plywood of the tub deck, no underlayment to prevent the tile from being popped and the grout cracking from moisture getting to the plywood...the list goes on and on.. oh and the tub filler valve was located on the back side of the tub, not a code violation but certainly not user friendly for somebody to have to climb basically into the tub or over it to turn the water on, but that's minor in the scope of all the code violations and poor workmanship, that's just poor design.
