Would love to meet some like minded folks in my neck of the woods.

Kitchen baths will get most of the attention plus refinishing the wood floors.

While I live in it (1-3years) the cashflow will be negative but once I moved out I should be positively cash flowing $400-$500. 3)I have heard of Paypal and Venmo, I'll look into Zelle.4)I talked to Travelers today but they said they couldn't insure the property because the units had wood burner stoves. 

After enough analyzing, I am sure I will get to the point where I can make a sight unseen offer. 

Heck, in Brandon Turner's old neck of the woods (i.e. podunk WA), there was only one hard money lender in town and he was charging 10% interest and 10pts. 

We salvaged the upper solid wood cabinets, cleaned them up, painted and changed out the hardware.

I opened a wall of an old house and found some wood in terrible shape.

The squeak comes from wood rubbing as it moves (kind of like cricket wings).
