We are going to be installing a security camera system in hopes of controlling this issue as well as the drug dealing that occurs on our properties and nearby.

you can do this instead of having the inspection as a contingency.Either way I would suggest that the water in the basement shouldnt be left as is, and is likely a repair in 5 digit numbers at least,  Im guessing you wont have the reserves set out for that large repair off the start since you dont have 20% or 25% down

These investors can get double digit returns investing passively with others; so, the active real estate returns have to be stronger to make it worthwhile.

Might want to set up a camera facing directly at the dumpster to catch anyone along with their license plate.

Look at other markets if you are investing for cash flow and get your returns up in the double digits.

People have been saying that for years and we are still seeing double-digit appreciation in many neighborhoods.

Most liens get redeemed with either the owner keeping the property or the mortgage lender protecting their position (which they must do or risk losing their security interest in a foreclosure).The only thing I've seen individual investors without the big money be able to do is invest in a few sewer and water liens for single digit interest.

Hello @Yousef SamyI am a developer and owner of a buyers agency firm in Tulum (Jungle Realtor), I own and manage multiple properties, and my properties are generating solid returns, double digits.

All these things make Asheville a great location to visit, both on STR or MTR timelines (for travel nurses, digital nomads, etc.).
