Surprisingly I had numerous applIcations at the new rate.

You may be surprised. 

I'm surprised the roof lasted that long.

Surprised that thing only lasted 3 years.

I honestly would be surprised if it came to that though.I just checked and nothing bad comes up on the first SERP (search engine results page) for me when Googling your company name, and virtually no one ever goes on to page 2.

@Sarah Buchanan I am really surprised with how animal control handled this.

You need to have at least a 15% reserve for unexpected surprises on this deal.If this is a real sleeper in terms of value, you can count on other flippers eyeing it up. 

I want to surprise them at the front door.

Surprised you're familiar with Jamestown!

s - it's all done through the local housing authorities.If you want to call the nearest one in Mass to ask if they cover any areas in RI you certainly can, but I'd be very surprised if they did since this all comes down from Federal funding via HUD and I strongly suspect they segment their funding on a state by state basis.Worth a phone call to double check though, if you're really getting that many inquiries.
