Digging out a basement, knocking down walls, new roof, luxury finishes, new hvac, etc.

I am also digging through all BP posts in creating financing :)TIA

Doing a little digging however it seems like that area may be a little tough to get into as my first investment.

Your tenant could dig her heels in and you might have to give her cash for keys.I would try for a firm but frank discussion "this is not working out-it was not a great idea" and don't get talked into any second chances. 

@Tanvir Sattar Heard that from quite a few folks on BP, in fact, just got off the phone with a fellow investor and realtor regarding Toledo, excited to dig in and see what I can find.

I do think the detriments are worthy of mention too...they include higher prices as SF is being is being sold and turned into short term, which digs into an already inventory poor market.

If that doesn't work you could always pay for propstream and do some digging. 

Hey @Zac Lindquist I'm sure you are doing this, but I really try to dig in with the list agent about the motivation and the specifics around the seller.

If not, I would consider doing so and let the insurance company dig into the responsible party.

This feels sufficient to me, as I'm also pretty handy and self-manage, and if a bunch of simultaneous repairs were needed, I would like dig in and try to do some of them myself.
