This addition is designed as a completely separate unit however it can easily flow into the existing house, creating a 3/2 with minimal work if needed.

Either their standards are much lower than mine or we are driving in 2 completely different types of areas.Usually, when I am out looking, I'll find two addresses in an hour that fit the bill of a distressed home and, if I'm lucky, one of them will pass the eyeball test when I am putting them through the appraiser's website.What am I doing wrong?      

Summary:-The industry is saturated-Kool Aid claims are commonplace.  

My rationale is that if we don't like the area/job/etc, I still have a vacation rental I can use to generate some income while we decide the next area to claim as the primary residence.I also have the flexibility of purchasing more properties in CT, which I know better, and skipping the vacation market altogether in FL and sticking to just residential non vacation rentals in Orlando.

I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who have successfully used an online company so I wouldn't completely discount that idea, just for myself personally I'd like to sit down and figure out what's best for the type of investing I'd be doing..Best of Luck!!

I am completely new to this world, but I am extremely anxious and excited to become the most successful investor I can become!

William Lees Thanks for sharing.Is this completed or needs repair?
