What things should I look out for when touring the house that are often hidden from the eye, but will be costly to fix?

When I told her that I did everything myself she said she knew she was being scammed.She filed a police report and I picked out the couple out of a photo line up that conducted the scam on her because I remembered them coming to tour the house like they wanted to rent it. 

I was beat out last month on a quad that received 25 cash offers in the first 24 hours.....no one was allowed to even tour the inside before submitting bids!

Most average cities don't know what the hell they are doing or saying because they don't see ADUs except for 5x a year and simply deny them.My tour and research of a company called US Modular in California has the GC getting the feasibility study done for $3500 (used as a credit towards the build but is a fee if you don't move forward with build). 

He now does the work of finding the arv based on comps etc; then we tour those which meet the basic criteria and I fill in rehab budget and verify the arv'sMy agent was very cooperative about doing the extra work, and we signed a deal a couple weeks ago on a sfh

Some of these books are very American...I can see past this but something with a more UK or European outlook may be a good idea to go with the above.Feel free to add some suggestions....Have a great weekend 😀

I would love to help introduce you to some members in the DFW area. 1031 is some fun stuff, If you are near Dallas ever we could get you on a tour of some properties first hand and compare.

Is this one of your foreclosure investments soon to be featured in the Foreclosure Investor Tour meetup?

When you visit Atlanta, sign up for a Beltline tour.  

My recommendation is to seek more passive routes of real estate investing such as investment groups, shares of RE Companies, REITs etc for the European theatre as it will relieve you of much of the leg work, hassle and headache, especially if you aren't native (working a deal can be tough as the "American" even when you speak the local dialect).
