If it were mine, and it was fresh water I'd use a gas powered water pump (rental), let it air dry with open windows and figure out why it had water in it.If it's black water I'd have it pumped out by a company, and then the area would need to be sterilized.Then fix the water intrusion, then address any mold issues.https://www.homedepot.com/p/rental/Wacker-Neuson-Gas-Water-Pump-1-5100013999/309392462

From my perspective, it makes sense to get more "doors" as people say on here, but I'm wondering if it's better to keep some powder dry if prices correct in the bay area.

So many people are taking action, we've got several projects underway and everyone knows the MLS is drying up so we're exploring some additional strategies to fill up that pipeline.If you or someone you know has a knack for finding deals, maybe you know of some yourself and you've been wanting to get involved with the group but aren't sure how to take the next steps.  

I just want to paint walls and put up dry wall and hang cabinets at my pace for a year.

BUT, after further research i find that most banks have a seasoning period of roughly 6 months... not so exciting. at 12-15% interest a month on the HML thats killer. so for the TL;DRI want to Buy and repair Cash only property roughly 155k.

Like behind the dry walls and all he wouldn't be able to tell if any plumbing or other issues exist?

Thanks for your guys feedback I really apperciate it. yes I would ask them to clean as much as they can, and I wouldn't worry about dry wall, I'd rather have my own guys do it.

Seal it with an injection system from exterior side, give it plenty of time to dry.

I think you need to first wait until your ears dry before making the "next move up" with your money.

hey guys does anyone who does probate leads consider leads that were filed about a month ago to be dry leads?
