Purchase price: $179,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Lived in the property for 1 year.Knocked down living room wall, replaced Hvac, floors and gutted and remodeled the kitchen, attic insulation, converted the living room and the dining area into rooms.

I was actually on a team dispatched to investigate the Surfside Condo collapse until the clean up process basically rendered our investigation moot. 

The second option is that she go to court, where she will lose, you get a judgment for everything owed including cleaning and repairs, and then you send her to collections where it will prevent her from qualifying for another rental, getting a car loan, etc.

Most people would spend a minimum of $25 PSF for a light remodel- replace kit cabinets/counters, floor, paint.

Updated flooring, changed cabinet hardware, updated thermostat.

It felt like a no-brainer for the value of the land, but being able to utilize a traditional mortgage because there was a clean yet simple 3 bed 2 bath house on the lot made the deal even sweeter!

Clean, friendly, activity rich and lots of employment driving growth as far as I found. 

Guest checks out, cleaners arrive to clean, conduct post stay inspection, and reset the home for next guest.

i buy flooring at a discount and drop it off at the property. 

The first floor has been completely remodeled and is currently leased to great long term tenants.
