mailing to pre foreclosures is pretty low return or odds. 

There is an odd thing about listing STR's (I just listed another one) in that it takes a while to rent consistently. 

@Robert Morrissey, This is an odd question, and I am not sure at what you're actually trying to get at.

I think its safe to suggest that many authorities from the DEA to local sheriffs are at odds at enforcing the changing laws as they balance the high costs to enforce it.Speaking of Trump...

The pilings are odd though, unless near the intracoastal.  

I'd say about 60% of the time FHA will not work for someone that already owns real estate, but you haven't thus far identified anything that would put you in that 60%, and in fact with that explanation for motivation you just gave I'd say you're odds of "true denial" (instead of "loan originator is misinformed denial") are reduced from about 60% to 40%.

Of course, unless they invest in real estate in some way now, the odds are against them ever being able to afford that dream home.

The good contractors move up, the lousy ones pick up odd-jobs. sorry I can't be more help

The problem I am having is no residential contractor is guaranteeing they can fix the issue then contractors flake etc.The tenants still want to be in the house which I find odd as I later found out water came into the garage and there is a lot of mold damage and I had another water restoration contractor removing the drywall and scrubbing the wood frame of the walls. 

Instead, they recouped my costs on the investment up to that point (which I think was inspection, maybe appraisal, and a couple other odds and ends).
