Behind the sheetrock, crawl spaces, etc.I'm by no means an expert at "de-meth-ing" a home, but that seems like a cheap way to get a better idea of what you are getting into.

We think investing in real estate is a great opportunity to put our CPA backgrounds to good use.Does anyone know of a good DE real estate agent for investors?

They also may need some "help" getting out of their home so I've begun partnering with small business owners who have de-cluttering programs.  

@GrantAndersonI recently did a lot of research into these "green" programs for solar, energy efficiency windows & doors, tankless water heaters, etc.  

Those states seeing an increase include: Delaware: foreclosure starts jumped 113%Arizona: +76%Utah: +63%Connecticut: +50%Oregon: +20%South Carolina: +3%Massachusetts: +3%Virginia: +3%Of the 1,713 counties analyzed with foreclosure starts in July, 36 percent posted year-over-year increases, including Maricopa County (up 43 percent); Prince George’s County, Md.

It may be a good idea to incorporate in Nevada or Delaware.

If this was done prior to the reno, it's likely the majority of the cost can be written off as operating expenses under the De Minimis Safe Harbor.

In my view, this demonstrates that they take their obligations and due-diligence very seriously and that such good-business practices most likely extend to all corners of their operations.Don't forget people that these RECF firms essentially serve as de-facto custodians of your hard-earned investment and (in some cases)  retirement funds.  

Although short sales are uncommon here due to the very hot housing market, the unskilled repairs and additions have significantly de-valued the home.  

I'm currently working on a deal that I'd like to successfully assign to an investor within the next 30 days.A little about me: I'm a licensed Real Estate Agent in PA but my Farm area is in Delaware (New Castle County).
