I have found that Redfin actually has pretty good search parameters to where you can look for listings that have been sitting a while that fit your buy box, and you can even do keyword searches for things like "as is", "investor", "seller financing", "guest house", etc. depending on what you are looking for.

Most old houses it is about 4 ft at the perimeter of the room, maybe less. 

Conversely, anyone can buy a random house in the midwest, underestimate capex, and... lose money. 

There are risks too, when buying condemned and burned-out houses because you may not be able to control the environment where these properties exist.

so the software that I use, "can" see inside the house by comparing photo between pre-flip and after-flip from house in particular neighborhood.

Hi, I had a painter who seems inexperienced who painted my house( referred by one other good handyman who gave up after taking half advance saying he got big projects cannot do these small jobs).

As a broker I did everything in house

If I put all of my eggs in one basket (Florida in this case), paid off property and a hurricane blows everything away, FEMA is nowhere to be found and the insurance companies take years to pay what little claims they actually do pay, I suffer through it in a blown out house.

Is this in your wheel house?

I have had 8 at my 3 bed/ 2 bath houses, largely because of the bathrooms.
