It might help to post at least some surface details on the post to get some better input!

I do epoxy floors and concrete polishing (Full Mechanical) and  I tell people all the time that the coating I put down is only as good as the surface it is applied to. 

I’m brand new to these forums and just scratching the surface of researching the real estate market in East Texas.

But we know (or think) that in order to do this we need more hard capital.So we've begun to look into wholesaling as a means of generating incremental hard capital to add to our pot, and as a great marketing, research, and team building exercise.I understand that this is a lot but any insight on the below topics would be extremely appreciated:-how well group investing in the fashion works-how strong of a an option wholesaling is in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Viriginia) or Baltimore-legal/due diligence advise in creating a partnership-what investing as a partnership vs an individual means for financing options & incentives (first time buyer, etc)-tiny home movement in the DMV or Baltimore, and how/if that increases vacant lots/land as a more viable investmentThanks!!!

If anyone on here is interested in participation in the deal in some fashion, we can discuss that too. 

@Wayne Brooks could be correct if the easement really precludes building on the surface, but it might not.

You will get there.The best properties to use the BRRRR strategy are almost always distressed in some form or fashion. 

If you are looking to buy another rental property I would recommend not using a HELOC for your downpayment in this fashion.  

Depending on how bad the surface is, I agree with @Christine Kankowski and I would go with basketball on one side and I like her idea for the wall on the other.

If I can't do get rid of them, then it seems like I'll either need to get a new bathtub or re-surface it.
