If you notice the state is not enforcing the guidelines or penalizing people because they are making money hand over fist from Air BnB which they never thought they could regulate.

I am still a newbie to the wholesale game and was wondering what the steps would be to wholesale a burned down house.

Do I have a chance at winning in a game of he said she said?

Private and hard money lenders also want to see that you have "skin in the game."

He has been on a 2 year lease every renewal and a bit below market as my husband was in law enforcement and we gave a discount to Police/Fire/Military.I’ve been watching the market and it has been slow to come back.

Just got some numbers back from a hard money lender:"I can lend you 90% of purchase 90% repairs, not to exceed 65% ARV 12% interest only no points on loans under 100k $3000 origination paid at closing $995 underwriting close in 7-10 days"Seems reasonable since I'm newer to the game?

I really like residential multi family sfr, especially starting out because you can learn the game quickly instead of dealing with syndicating and dealing with commercial lenders which is a little more advanced.  

This is no longer up to the current plumbing code in our area, but the valves of course are grandfathered in.Plumbing code enforcement in Allegheny County is handled by county inspectors, as opposed to the municipal regular building code enforcement.

I have been on the sidelines and need to get some skin in the game.

Also, check for code enforcement liens or weed liens.
