We've used Lifeproof's fresh oak in several of our units, but am finding issues with scratching.

Replaced all carpeting with high end flooring, fresh designer paint job (interior & exterior), updated all interior lighting, refinished kitchen cabinets, installed butcher top counters, added a custom "breakfast nook," replaced all windows, New HVAC & duct-work, cleaned up the overgrown yard and added exterior curb appeal, plus gutted & updated bathrooms.What was the outcome?

Harder to measure on a spreadsheet than Mahomes' QBR or TD:INT ratio, but the people living in Denver can still tell you there is a bigger influx of fresh buyers than ever and I don't blame them.

I immediateley went to my bank where fraud investigation is being pursued, filed charges with the Harrison County Sheriff's department, the Attorney General's office and the Internet Fraud.gov center, plus my friend called the president of the local REA and he is also looking into the matter.

They should have a ton of info on this.I’ve never done it myself, but I’ve investigated a few deals that would require it and the local housing department was a huge help in understanding what it would require.

Hey everybody, I'm curious to see what you all think of buying a completely run down property that will 100% need to be a tear down and build fresh?

If the pure cash on cash returns satisfy your criteria, then you should investigate further. 

To investigate potential places you really should get the Comprehensive Housing Market Analysis from HUD for the areas you are investigating.  

If you want to go the turnkey route to get started while you're still over here and while you continue to investigate another market and build a team, I'll second @David Pere's recommendation to check out @Stuart Grazier's Storehouse 3:10 Turnkey.

if you worried about where to go, try investigating the free Comprehensive Housing Market Analysis’ available at huduser.
