Something to remember their successes.

Long term aspirations for the lot is to use SB9 to split and add 1-2 additional units.Learned a ton through this process - such as negotiation, deal underwriting, renovation estimates, contractor management, etc.

The squatters would have to go through the legal process, which they won't because they know they have no evidence of legal occupation.The worst that could happen is violence, so you should only attempt this if you are prepared to defend yourself. 

I'd recommend Gerald Boorse 904-610-6558 or Mike Damato 904-718-0160 for residential work.to your success,Ian A.

With that being said, if priced right and you screen your tenants you can have a successful rental in most areas of Palatka. 

During rehab process the bank sees us with; 2 mortgages, 0 rents, and 1 income (spouse not working) and would be too risky. 2 mortgages will make us at borderline break even cash flow with existing income.

I'd be open to a month to month lease, but I'd still have them go through same screening, same deposit process, and same rules as other tenants.

There is the same weekly questions over and over - ah almost forgot the ohio crew (little gang of realtors from Ohio pushing their narrative - I'm sure some have success but I have heard just as many if not more horror stories from the area, especially out of state investors who invest in Ohio). 

That can lead to odd quirks, sometimes good deals, and sometimes long and arduous processes, it just all depends.I will share a story - one Credit Union was offering such attractive HELOC terms that Auto Dealerships caught on to it.

I analyze the deal to make sure it looks to be a successful project for both of us.
