I just want to be prepared and make sure my company is not to reliant on a hot market to make our profit. 

Build a rental property empire by - Mark FergusonHow to have Confidence and Power in dealing with People - Les Giblin ******Sales is simple - Rod McKinnis**In general a phenomenal book for everyday business/personal.

The property is in Northwest Arkansas so we get very hot summers, very cold winters, and semi-frequent tornados and hail storms, so roofs usually don't last longer than 15 years around here (according to the roofer). 

In the real world when opportunity arises one needs to execute efficiently..especially on the red hot Oregon Coast. 

Hot and cold water lines that run from the water source throughout the home to everything that needs water6.

It's a nice little property but you have to have stuff near by to make it worth it -- and you need a better price (rates have gone up / market has gone down / they're asking the same price that they couldn't get when the market was hot)

I was finishing up a high end fix & flip in Austin when the market crashed, pretty much lost everything but the market is HOT in the Austin area right now and builders can't keep up with the demand.

The market is hot here.

I don’t have to deal with pool/ hot tub/ snow removal / trash pickup / gardening … Yet, my guests enjoy a well kept property with all these things.

I'm getting more photos tomorrow so we'll see if there's any more progress.Depending on how much you really want to protect your investment.. simply getting pictures on a drive by is not going to cut it.I would suggest you find a construction inspection company like the HML ers use we use and banks use.. normally about 50 to 100 an inspection.. so what you want is at demo phase they go through and check it out quickly and make sure you did not buy a complete wreck with a lot of structural defects that can easily be hidden.then from there once they do electrical and plumbing before they cover those us get it inspected..then have them come back after sheet rock and kitchen bathrooms etc.then once its done hire a normal home inspector to go through the whole house to make sure its up to code and everything is working.. the first inspectors just say yes there is plumbing and electrical the last inspector make sure its all to code your GFI's are in your hot water works etc etc.the other thing you want to do for SURE is get a sewer scope all those old houses unless its evident there is a new waste line the second someone moves in your probably going to find your sewer wont work right and it will be an emergency replacement and cost you 2X to 3X what it would cost if you fix it now..
