Quote from @Denise Evans: You are absolutely right, and everyone should consider the dangers and your warning.

@Richard Rodriguez Properties that need this much work are common for rehabbers to tackle in my area.

I understand your point @Richard Smith,  where this is a very low income area and the rehab can go south very easily.  

hi robyn. the best advice i can give you is never give up. nascar king richard petty use to say " in a 200 lap race, the first 199 don't count". it doesn't matter where you are in the race, it matters where you finish. but you have to finish the race. the deals will come along. you won't find one everyday. keep on and you will win the race

@Richard Dunlop its hurts me talking about losing $300K in such a public forum, but it happened.

My name is Phil Richards.

Having said that @Richard G., while I would wonder why you are wedded to Charlotte, I would not just shut the lights off and go home.  

Richards I have had partners report loss rent on credit report and that has seemed to get some results.
