It’s crazy to think that something as insignificant and mundane as a simple window repair allowed for the conditions to save a person from crossing over into the next world .

i just dont want to get so thinned out and the markets shift and end up lossing everything...at the same time i could refinance this house take my 185k and find a house for 100-120k still have cash for repairs and rent current home out that would be cash flowing about 1500/mo while i use my construction background to fix and eventually  rent that one....thoughts i guess would be much appreciated for this newby:) thanks!

It's gone up in value about 50% since then, more due to the market than to my repairs/improvements.

Your loss as a result.You can try to take the tenant to court to collect but based on the fact that you neglected your property I would suggest that you just do the necessary repairs and sell the property.

Looking for experienced contractors or people that know how to properly do estimates for repair cost!

From what I can tell, a lot of deals are negative cash flow if you account for property management and repairs. 

In some cases i have seen rental prices going up after floods as many units are not livable or need repairs so if you end up with a property that was not damaged, you might see some short term higher demand and price increase.

Forgot to add for the ARV and Estimated repair costs

Tenants don't want to deploy property protection and so I always get loss of use coverage so what repairs are needed you can recoup some the lost rents.I've heard people like the panhandle but I'm not familiar myself.
