The best way to explaining this is for you to download an IRR calculator spreadsheet or build your own simple one and play around with one.For what its worth most deals I deem meeting minimal IRR standards is 13-15% but you have to dig a little deeper to uncover the real placements of cashflows and capitalization events... and then dig even deeper to verify the assumptions such as occupancy, rent increases per year, and what reversion cap rate was used.Again I don't look for IRR cause its manipulated a lot instead I look at total return on a 5 year basis.

With concrete, you just dig a little trench, put in some gravel, pound and level it out, and pour concrete on top of that.

At first I was reluctant to mess with it, but when I met the investor in the Austin REA who is and has flipped several flooded homes in the Onion Creek area, I thought I would dig a little deeper to see what is possible.  

I've asked my sister to get me the address so I can dig a big deeper on the property.

I agree VT is hit and miss so I need to dig a little deeper on demographics and take a ride up this week.

The Realtors behavior isn't acceptable by any means and isn't an indicator of how most professionals behave just like you have to dig a little to find a good deal, it sometimes takes a bit of digging to find a good Realtor.

In todays current society of eviction moratoriums, stimulus checks, rampant unemployment, and deadbeat tenants, would I be willing to dig a little deeper into his screening if I was 100% guaranteed to get my money in full? 

@Ma Diga sorry to hear you have had a year of vacancy.

I would assume you are a full time investor. i would love to dig a little deeper and hear some more about what kinds of systems you have in place to steadily buy 4-5 homes a month.

have you considered abandoning the basement . as in  reposition the furnace upstairs. line the basement with a waterroof membrain then fill it in . its a drastic solution but if you have that much ground water your running out of options .a cheaper fix would be to dig a sump about 2 feet deep and get one good sump pump  this would stop the water getting upto the basement floor so youd be dryer but your future will be forever connected to that pump
