Talk about why you are flipping, that you understand that inspections are not a way to get back money, but a way to protect yourself, and why you like their home to flip (I know you put a lot of love into it over the years, we are just looking to take your foundation and build on it).

@Brian Gerlach That makes a lot of sense, would I be right in thinking that I should get ones that are within the target market to help set a foundation in the area or is it more prudent to stay local for this portion?

The best advice is study and network as much as possible until you have a good foundation for this business.

I spent the first 15 years of my career contracting before recently going into the engineering side of things and have dealt with water issues on foundations on certain projects before.

Considering how I don't understand a lot of the terms you guys used, I think I'm still far from a good foundation of knowledge and concepts hehe thanks for taking the time to reply!

Yes, direct mail is the foundation of my marketing.

During our inspection, we found that the cottage had no foundation.

Heating, plumbing, electrical, water and sewer.How are the roofs, windows, siding and foundations?

If occupied fully it's bad form to disturb tenants unless you are ready to pull the trigger and there will have to be something big like a foundation for you not to offer.

Continue building your educational foundation.
