Daily, I made up the habit of calling my friend, Andy, early in the morning to remind him: “It’s a great day to be in real estate!”

When you’re looking into operating recovery homes, it’s vital that you put the right supports in play.

Since the couple moved from quite a distance I had no way to know what their living habits were. 

Commercial apartments have become increasingly harder to insure with many carrier freezing that product line and or taking huge rate increases for habitational products.

@Melanie Dupuis, Red Lake Ontario - Five Lakes Lodge was it's name.I'm convinced the real estate was 20% what it should have been because it was only habitable for normal people 20% of the year! 

I routinely use PTD's for other contractual purposes to reduce my risk, however.I'm not in the habit of using AITD wraps however Jay Hinrich's post might be the cleanest way to alleviate a seller's concerns.

However, it means nothing to me because it is vital to your business to have your screening criteria set for your business before you get recommendations from someone else.

.* Owners of damaged properties get an insurance check and need to either buy or rent existing houses, since their homes are not habitable.* Construction workers increase in the area and they either buy or rent houses* They have over 100 homes in current stage of construction and none had any major damage, most were fine with minimal damageBottomline, I think you are in a very good position and I really like SW FL market for it's great potential, probably significantly better than a midwest market, at least for appreciation potential.

@Nathan Ruffrage in Addition to @Alex Breshears excellent advice.... its vital to understand the true As-Is value of the property and your intended loan to value ratio.

They believe in providing homes that are managed, maintained, and appropriately used in a manner that adds to the value and vitality of our beautiful Pocono Mountains and continues to be a major draw for visitors and the tourism industry.
