Hi,I have a property in Fulton got water flooded due to storm drain backup.

And heaven helps you if you finance that thing at the high side of the market because then you can't service the debt and you're dead in the water and you start bringing money to the table until it erodes through your entire savings 401k everything you got in savings because you believe that the market's gonna correct.

Tried and true markets are water front (lake, river, ocean) and the mountains.

May of 2020, one of the duplexes was struck by lightning causing a rupture in the water heater gas line and had a significant fire. 

1 -MAke it a habit for self development and be patient with that ,  2- Network (but be humble) ,      3 - Always be the giver, ( don't try to network with the intention of what can they do for you, ) but how can I add to them  ( and if something happens, cool and both can be in a symbiotic relationship. 4- Make Sure YOur vision is bigger than Real Estate itself.. cos you will encounter a lot of set backs and you want to make sure your vision push you through it .   5 - Never think RE is black and white . ( ill semi quote a Bruce lee quote, I encourage you to google it)  Be like water , cos it has the ability to shape in any form ..

Not quite the same thing, but I recently lost most of a month waiting on a water certificate to close on a multifamily.

Then plant some agave and cactus, or similar....no more issues and no water bills ever again.FYI, I paid about $350 for a 20 ton truck....you'll need a Bobcat to spread it ($100 day). 

Water heater and furnace are both less than 10 years old.

You want a local guy that you have multiple policies with that will go to bat for you with a big insurer, unless they are waaay over priced…I got a great deal through my local Allstate agent and he’s dealt with 2 different $30,000 claims on toilet supply line water damage at 2 different properties.  

Paper wall paper that was glued with wall paper sizing/paste is easy to remove with hot water and rags.
