.- Huge car buff who loves to go to the local meets and interact with other car enthusiasts.

Could someone either give me an estimate of average lifecycle for common components of a house within Florida, or recommend any local contractors that could give me an affordable inspection report?

[2021] - Kitchen Countertops (countertopadvisor.com)For us, we look at comps in the local area where the house is.

I have been volunteering with local Habitat for Humanity groups to learn how to renovate houses, and currently looking for my first house hack or flip in the southeastern MA area (have been looking at areas such as Barnstable, Plymouth, and Bristol counties). 

If you are open to a partnership reach out to local investors in the area.

Connect with potential local and international investors, businesses, and partners.

I would suggest going local for the first one - I think it's much easier to manage.  

Depending on the scale, a local CPA may not be able to perform a full audit.  

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

I would recommend house hacking locally.
