I have a bare bones rehab plan in progress, basically just to fix everything to the point where it will be a good solid rental.

And finally, when you own the property, you'll want a GC you can trust to oversee any construction and ask for pictures and recap of work completed at least weekly so you know things are progressing without having to drive or fly out if it is far.

At this point it's looking like it will be a speedy recovery, but only time will tell.I should be down in Gatlinburg in a couple of weeks to assess the damage and would love to connect with any of you. 

After almost 20 years in real estate I am finally making progress in my investing career.

It will be a temporary paper loss till the eventual recovery.

I know a lot of patients who stay there, and as this progresses, I will set up a nice looking one-page website that the chiropractor's office can send people to if they are interested in booking.I am seeking an investor who has some experience partnering with financing rehab projects.

They are progress.

You can also easily make $200/month renting out the parking spot.If you're looking at houses, try searching the forums as there are number of threads on locations outside the GTA.Good luck and keep us updated on your progress!

Also, assuming the eight houses are owner-occupied, you're dealing with the emotions of people selling a primary residence that will be destroyed in the path of progress.

The Best time by far to buy is in the very early recovery after the downturn.
