Retrofitting is challenging because it's hard to address both types of sound.Sound is sneaky.

You should also find investors locally and network with them face-to-face.

Welcome JoesphI am also an engineer, (retired) in Baltimore MD.I invest in rental property and tax liens.The legal aspects of rentals in MD make it a challenging state.Wayne

I imagine that I can pretty much get a vibe about an older, established subdivision, but if I wanted to buy new or recently-built, let's face it, many of the big builders don't put out a great product and sometimes don't stand behind their work.

I also own a condo in Providence that is now generating some nice cash flow for me.Any experienced flippers out there willing to cue me into some of the biggest challenges I will face will be greatly appreciated!

Every aspect gives a different set of challenges and puzzles to solve.Enjoy!

@Matthew Elmer I wanna say BPO man, but if I'm off sorry, I definitely see a lot of faces.  

Marc, definitely hadn't considered partnering financially on the first deal and splitting profits (hopefully) with a seasoned pro, great idea to gain some hands-on experience with someone else helping along the way.Joel, would love to hear more about your challenges/successes with your quads in Roswell sometime, thanks for the advice.

I appreciate your knowledge and may contact you later for advice, if you don't mind.I knew this was going to be challenging without being able to pay cash for a property and being unemployed, I was hoping maybe there was something I was missing.

You either need to find the draft source (which can really be a challenge in some places) or you need to prevent it from getting to sensitive areas.Good luck and stay warm!
