You're right, it can be a crapshoot in terms of gaining valuable information, but it's just another tool in a note investor's bag. 

I'm seeking to buy Multi families that we can preposition and have added value opportunities.Both areas have mixed bag of school rating, while 32211 have much less crime. 

Just for fun, I also dusted off my diploma, studied up, and in ’04, passed the salesman and broker exams here in Wisconsin and got my broker’s license.

I will save you some trouble and the only contractor I'd recommend is Rick at Dust Detail his number is 760-362-2209.

We shouldn't lump them all into the same f'ed up bag.

PREPARATION OF JOBSITE FOR WORK - SET UP DUST BARRIERS, TARPS AND MUD MATS AS NEEDED. - COVER HVAC VENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO MINIMIZE DUST SPREAD. - VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO GAS LEAKS CAUSED BY THE BASEMENT FLOOD. - VERIFY THAT THERE ARE NO ELECTRICAL SAFETY ISSUES. 2.

I will hunt that mortgage down and bag it!

Obviously Sonder is all in on this and I think this is a great option for STR owners.Living in Charleston, I've had numerous conversations with individuals who packed up their laptop and came down from NY, Jersey, and Boston and have been hunkering down until the dust settles, renting STR's on a month-to-month basis. 

I showed him the dust & corrosion on the window Al capping & he was still not convinced.

(Plus....if you're dealing with one of those contractors and he says he needs 50 sheets of drywall, 20 sheets of Hardie backer, 40 boxes of mud, 20 bags of floor leveler, and 30 bags of thinset, then once you've paid for those items, how do you really know how much of that got used on your job and how much went into his truck for a weekend gig?)
