I have walked plenty to know most are just tear-downs and you will be throwing your many in a black hole.

I live and invest in West Philadelphia.I understand the bidding process and the different rounds of bidding (non profit, owner occupant, investor), but I'd like to know if there are loop holes or back doors to the process that can be exploited to help me win more bids.Thanks!

They did a good job, but they definetly put a hole in my pocket.

. $35 each for aluminum 12 x 18 with 4 holes to screw into the brick. 

The tenants moved out after one year, and though there are no holes in the walls or anything terrible like that, the paint is in pretty rough shape and at a minimum would need most rooms touched up.My property manager (a large and reputable company—found them on BP) told me that paint is one of the items that I just need to plan to remedy at each turnover and nothing can be taken out of the tenants’ deposit to put towards repainting.To exacerbate my dilemma, the color of the home’s interior is no longer available, and I have been told that I should just paint the entire home based on the idea that just painting a few rooms is moot due to labor expense.The home rents for $1000/mo and a new paint job is going to cost me $1800.

@John Morgan Your intention and direction is good, but your execution has holes in it.

Is there a large pool of renters in your area, with $7,000 a month burning a hole in their pocket?

@Greg Gaudet  Greg do these units have central air.. what most don't realize that properties in Maui a lot of the older units have no AC and there is NO heat  so your capex is simply flooring and the occasional hole in the door.Hawaii is a great place for rentals becasue of the simplicity of the building there and you dont have to fool with central heat and air in many places..good job..
