Hope all of you are staying healthy and happy in these trying times. 

Buried utilities are about $150 per linear foot, you could possibly depending on your soils not hook up sewer and go with a leech field or septic, those systems I believe are around $15000 to $20,000. 

I don't have clients in Knoxville in particular, and I assume with it being a duplex that the cash flow will be good even with a healthy ARV, but I am intrigued by your thoughts and early calculations.Hopefully the ARV comes back healthy and you've got a good opportunity to cash flow and grow!

.😥...I’m not here to bash on any wholesalers within Our Come-Unity, but I AM suggesting that maybe it’s possible to create a New Wholesaling Business Philosophy where Wholesalers can partner with what I call “Small Money Investors” who’s small funds are specifically tailored towards funding simple Due Diligence processes with the intent of earning a healthy annual return.

Great market with a lot of Chicago relocation and a healthy renter pool!

Although I love the commissions received here in California as a realtor, I see more opportunity for a more prosperous, healthy and happy life in Florida.

I am in Cincinnati and invest here, there is a healthy mix of options depending upon buy box and goals. 

A healthy relationship requires open communication and periodic performance assessments.I've seen partnerships fall apart when one person feels like they're carrying the entire load.

It looks like the heavy clay soils are holding the water under the house and it can't "leak" back out through the crawl foundation and footers (which look surprisingly good).
