@Grant KeeblerThis is of course the main reason no one wants to invest in the hood.You are the one with some money, you own the house he lives in, and you have recourse to law enforcement.

Being an agent just never fit my lifestyle personally. 

It's a very hot market which of course get's hotter the closer you get to Atlanta/the metro area.

In my experience drain stacks crack at turns, tees, and fittings.

Truthfully, I don’t see a lot down here from wholesalers that I work with that fits my criteria and when I lend, its usually different assets than what might be expected to be common at REIAs.  

and sewers of course..

@Jim Adrian it’s a complete guy, sans most of the flooring, because the place has been vacant for 10 years, the plaster ceiling is falling down everywhere, walls need to be reconfigured to make it fit a SFH instead of a Duplex better, Mechanicals all need replacing due to rodent/critter damage, and city code will require electrical service upgrade and new water service, etc… It’ll be a fun project, has good bones, just the soft meaty stuff inside that sucks.

Of course you could get more for the garages than outdoor spots.

Of course, I would get a 5k deposit, but I'm only gonna get that after inspection.

I know the opportunity cost is significant, there are many things we could do with that extra 1,500 over the course of 10 years (180K).
