Every property has their surprises.

I currently live in Sydney, Australia (I am an architect) and I am surprised to hear all the time from US property investors that they need to replace a roof.

@Rico See I am absolutely stunned and surprised by the amount of useless information being peddled when the same question like yours gets asked in the forums.

We save over $10,000 a year by doing this and it was surprisingly easy to set up.

Don't be surprised if many people don't want to give up their contractors, because finding good, trustworthy contractors is difficult, and investors often don't want them to become too busy or raise prices.

Surprisingly the cost of insulation from a big name company seemed reasonable so I thought I would get an estimate from a paint company.

I would not be surprised of Notice(s) of Mortgage Sale also appear in the Ontario Gazette.Matt:You are absolutely correct, a property purchased at tax sale comes with no assurances, so it is best to do your homework before bidding.

Not surprising.

They are in Florida they can negotiate a deal in Cali, but somebody has to look at deal to make sure no surprises before being put under contract.

I make them give me a flat price (to be changed w/the appropriate change of work order if there are any surprises).
