I also have my sights set on out-of-state investing.

As the rebuild quote of $18,000 was acceptable to us.Sure enough the roof began to leak again but by then we had it CFD & he decided to completely re-do the roof at his expense.We just reviewed another but this one has termite damage in the wood flooring & roof trusses so we walked.Get it inspected & if its going to be an issue get the price adjusted accordingly.

However, I do know how to refinish wood (radios), so we will probably refinish all of the cabinetry in our house (also a good excuse to buy an HVLP spray rig...).

If the sashes are wood multi-lights, glazing might be the answer.

Daniel - There's a very large SoCal BP contingent . . . link up with @Will Barnard and he can start helping you connect with others in your neck of the woods.

Newbie on BP in League City / Friends wood, TX Market...Have several SFR holdings and rentals...would love to network with people interested in multi-family deals...look forward to hearing from you all.!!!

Phil, did you mean Palmer Woods instead of Palmer Park?

Unless you are an experienced investor with a solid team, do not put to much energy into a project without visiting it first and certainly don't buy "sight unseen".You should have an inspection and get quotes on repairs from a reputable contractor.Please let me know if you have any questions.

Would the wood beams be rotted as well or could I just take out the drywall, have it cleaned out, and put new drywall up?

I am thinking about replacing living room flooring with wood-like Vinyl planks.
