Anyways, I'm interested to know if anyone else out there, especially in the South FL area uses Smarter Contact as well.

FYI I am planning to talk with my CPA about this but I want to let him finish my return for 2022 first before I ask/pay him for his time.

I have seen a lot of strong market appreciation as well so the ability to buy and renovate for a good ARV still remains. 

If business is slow, plan a vacation.

So, if 'weak" on your lease, don't feel bad about buying a template from one better refined, or using a TP service from a provider who has one to level like mine and then, well, you'll have that in hand for all actions going forward, right. 

My plan now is to wait for the inspection report and then negotiate with the seller from there.

Hire a Architect to provide drawings with a lot of details such as existing house elevations and floor plan, proposed elevations and new floor plan, roof, wood deck, addition, etc.

I know one thoughts are “I can sell it for more” but that increases the risk as well because if I had a $250k loan on a $225k property and values continued to decline and the mortgage is in someone else’s name - I would be like “ok let me hand the deed back and walk away and go ahead and sue me…

I would make each of these 5% of EGI too but this all depends on how well-maintained the building is.

It those prices, I got 2 of them was able to cash flow very well.
