Regarding the secondary roof issue, your first step should be to consult with your current insurance provider.

I like to provide the fix and flip opportunities to local investors, and the stabilized cash flowing rental units to both local and out of state investors who are looking to add this type of product to their portfolios, as there are several, high quality full-service property management companies in the area. 

I wish you all the best.Hamp,Thank you for your service and congrats on your upcoming retirement!

The power is on, but apparently is serviced by a different utility company than the one I had called.

you should get a RMLO or an underwriter to qualify the borrower. if its owner occupied and in florida you also will need to use a third party servicing company to service the loan which will run you around $450/yr. not an accountant but its my understnding unfortunately the interest income is going to be taxed at ordinary income and the principal will reduce the principal. how you offset the losses talk to your CPA.your best bet honestly is to just sell it and bite the bullet. 

Providing BP doesn't go out of business, it will be interesting to look back on this in 2029 and see who was right/closest.Personally, I think it's easy to go with Florida or Texas city, but they appear to already have a lot of the near term appreciation built in to today's prices.

Ask questions and learn as much as you can to figure out your best path forward.Thanks for your service!

It was difficult to find an insurer to finally provide full coverage at under $2k, about double normal rates for my area.
