But they think we just need to be patient since finding quality tenant is harder in 32209. 

This will "reset the clock" on the vines and delay bud break for some time and put us even further into the safety of early-to-mid-April.

Make sure you know your parameters and criteria, stick to it, be patient, and get in the game.

They will be looking for things like can the windows and doors open, do the appliances work, does plumbing work, are there any safety issues, etc.If you write something into the contract, then the appraiser is going to be looking at it.

If you are patient you will eventually find a good one.

It's definitely doable, but you'll need to be patient, you'll need to either be watching the market everyday (multiple times a day really) or have a team in place to do so for you.

I don’t think contractor availability has really been affected by COVID, but much more just from their being in so much demand from folks doing renovations and home improvements.I think BRRR and house hacking are both still very good strategies, but yes you should account for some contractor delays and a bit higher costs just because contractors are in such demand right now.I’d also recommend that if you haven’t done rehabs before you only take on a small-medium rehab project, not a large one (60K+) and that you add a 10% extra buffer to your estimated project cost for safety to account for first time learning opportunities 😊

I would love to get opinions of people that knows the area in terms of safety. 

Every issue except the weather stripping(I've been tagged for weather stripping also) is a health/safety issue.

I've been buying and holding forever, and it's a need to be patient process.
