Or, are wall cracks a "buyer beware" red flag that you run away from?

My general rule of thumb when I venture up to the deep north (lol) of Southern NH and the seacoast - I'll only buy in towns that have an absorption rate of less than 6 months.  

As you probably know I need to get houses a deep discounted prices in order to sell them fast.  

The fact that there are not two meters now is a red flag.  

The top package also includes project management with once per week.The entry-level service for investors includes creating a complete design plan for the property, sourcing the materials for 2 rooms, procuring the materials for 2 rooms within your approved budget (we get deep discounts because we're designers and buy through our industry affiliations) and then 2 onsite visits to ensure the materials are what we specified and installed to our specifications.

Fire them and move on ... think back on your screening process to see if there were any red flags you could've picked up on ahead of time and apply them to your next PM.

NOT at all trying to discourage you, but want you to truly understand some of the pitfalls that can get you in real trouble on your first investments....especially, if you don't have deep pockets.

If it's >15% ( and no major red flags) I'm going to pull the trigger.

From a seller or seller's agent perspective, if I show them a bank account that's not related to me personally or my LLC then the red flags start waving.

Currently, waiting on home inspection to see actual condition of the units and see if there are any major red flags.
