My own Cash2.

Can never be sure based on pictures, but as stated it looks like surface mold.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

One became an enterprise, one became a veterinary office, one got demo'd and had 10-15 townhomes built on the property, and there is one in my neighborhood that has been for lease for a couple years now and still vacant (not sure if the owner is really just land banking it, since he owns the adjacent property too, a former medical supply store).All that being said, I do not see this property as being something that will be easy or cheap to re-lease.  

I own another 10 unit down the street though and the area isn't too bad really.

-Make sure the contract states:-what you are doing for the "sweat equity"-Options for parties on both selling, equity, refinancing, etc.

Hey Luis, did they not have a contract with you stating what you were supposed to get?

My husband and I have had the dream to own buy-and-hold properties and flips for years now but have never made any moves towards that goal.

Sure, there are going to be people who fail but if you truly try and make your best effort and do your own due diligence by evaluating these properties, inspection, ARV, etc. and really learning the strategy of both BRRR and turnkey fix and flip, it will work.You need to build a strong and trustworthy team on the ground.People nowadays quit the second something gets hard.

@Jake Little what state is the property located?
