@Roy Morris it really depends on size of property State Farm is competitive for smaller properties under 4 units.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $25,000 S/F corner lot with fenced yard, oversized 2 car garage, new kitchen cabinets, hardware, stainless appliances & sink, granite countertop, new wood, carpet and tile floors, new deck, new lighting and door hardware, tile in both bathrooms, What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Use inexpensive wood laminate or vinyl plank throughout the house and peal/stick grout-able tile in bath and laundry rooms.

However, knocking on someone’s door and ask if there were selling their house is not quite the best strategy in the neck of my woods...anything beyond that seems to work well?

Custom stair rail, designer finishes & gleaming wood floors surround an open concept kitchen leading to an expansive back deck for relaxing & entertaining.

My friend that owned the property before me added Pergo wood flooring.

The exterior of the building is in good condition, all brick, wood in good condition.

VA also adds a mandatory "wood destroying insect" inspection.If you're having a hard time falling asleep, here's some mind-numbing reading on FHA appraisals: https://www.hud.gov/sites/documents/41502C3HSGH.PD...

I appreciate everyone’s input, the problem with getting two different size planks is we took out a load bearing wall and we are trying to continue where the existing wood flooring left off.
