Bristol is a very nice small city- located on the edge of going rural, but not convenient to the highways- decent taxes, good water bills, and the town government is ok. 

. 🤷🏽‍♂️ I think at this point I’m going to pick a handful of those states based on the various things others are saying in this forum and areas that I like or have an edge in and just start running deals.

It's a safety risk. 

As long as the unit passes basic safety standards you should be ok- what is the issue with the cabinets? 

If you're contacting the appraiser directly from that website above, that means no appraisal management company taking a cut, so the net proceeds to the appraiser of, say, $450, isn't actually off what the net proceeds would be if you ordered an appraisal through a lender and paid $600.

Personally, I like it, especially with the lawn care, because the properties look better with our professional crew and are cut and trimmed on a regular basis, which is easier on the lawn.  

I know they talk about this from time to time on the BP Podcast (and not usually in a positive light)...I took $$ out of my 403B for the down payment on the house WHICH will be repaid very soon after my ex-wife sells the house which we still own (my cut of that sale will more than cover the loan I took against myself...so all good).

I should add that the lease that the tenant signed states that the tenant shall: Cut the grass and maintain the shrubbery.

Look into Crystal Beach, Palm Harbor, Safety Harbor, Clearwater.

Otherwise, you'll be like the masses of other wholesalers who are terrible, cut corners and screw people over.
