Especially, out-of-state investors too that have no such connections looking to invest in Salt Lake City area.

At a 500-700k budget, I'd look at a 2-4 unit property in places like East Nashville, Colorado Springs, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond, VA, maybe Salt Lake City (though that budget might not cut it there).

My greatest pain point is not that the deals failed, although that certainly adds salt to the wounds, it's the poor communication, false narratives, chasing (almost begging) for updates, lack of full disclosure, the smoke and mirrors, etc.

You could tear out everything and spray the lumber with Monterey Consan 20 (I used it in Louisiana after the flood of 2016).

So much for global warming , I have had my trucks and equipment out plowing and salting for the last 6 days  here in Maryland . 

.: There IS going to be a big impact on Real Estate, especially for Single Family and small Multi-Family that is Owner Occupied.The SALT Deductions are slated to expire at the end of 2025.Trump has already said that he will allow it to Expire:https://about.bgov.com/insights/elections/2025-tax-policy-cr...This is NOT a small change.The Standard Deduction gets reduced by about 40%.Then you get to deduct the SALT (State and Local Tax) that you paid PLUS up to $1 Million in Interest from your Mortgage against your Federal Tax Return.The only limiting factor will be AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax).In 2017 when this Cap was put into place, it made sense.However, now that the average Home sells for about Double what it was back in 2017, many normal Americans can benefit from the Expiration.I'm hoping that the Trump Administration does not extend the Cap.Too many people will love him more if he allows it to Expire!

That means, take anything I post with a grain of salt :)FF for us started off as our bread and butter for lead generation, but as we added more units, we added AirBnB and Vrbo.

We had a pretty nasty cat pea cottage, stripped lots of drywall ended up spraying about 10 gallons Kilz oil throughout.
