If you are an investor in NC and know a good lender I could talk to about a redo on an investment property I would appreciate that info too.

In that case you would be better off doing your own research and/or talking to a property manager.

I'd meet and talk with the"tenant" to see what their intentions are for the 11 homes owned.

You mention not wanting to "feed the lawyers"- let's talk about the dietary requirements of the legal system.

Buy, fix and do a "rent to own" (i might have to talk to a lawyer if i want to do this).

I think she's talking about her phone @Brian Woods

I'd talk with @Ann Bellamy for lending.When your rehab is done, talk with me about marketing the property to get top dollar for it.Pro tip - be sure you look at whether the property is on town sewer of private septic system. 

Maybe you were talking about a different post and quoted mine by mistake...? 

If you can talk to someone there regarding the process of obtaining title, it would help. 

We're talking about tearing up all the pee-soaked carpet (dogs..) and bleaching/disinfecting the concrete foundation underneath, replacing a majority of the second floor sub-floor, fixing the roof, fixing the HVAC, repairing the garage (door hanging on by a thread), scrubbing and disinfecting all the cabinets (roach feces everywhere), tearing up and replacing the landscaping, fixing the roof, inspecting and repairing any water damage... the list goes on and on.
