Normally the meter pedestal is located 15 feet or more away from the home is where the power is delivered.Are you on city water and sewer?

Time is money in the game and in the market I am in and there just isnt enough time to mess around with the 203k loan.Now Hard Money may be an option for you but I dont believe you can owner occupy a home that has hard money at least witht the HML lenders I have used this has been a strict concern they have because the lender will be in hot water if you move in.

@Carlos CastañonFlorida sucks right now, caps are low and many investors don’t seem to care.Many say good deal are created.The best way to make the deal great is through your model: will you stabilize, add value, increase rents, increase NOI, and Force equity.Additionally, your best deals are going to come by way of direct contact with a seller.Take the properties your looking at on LoopNet And use them as reference to target neighboring properties that are not currently listed.Additionally, in Florida and many other statesBuilding and owner info is available on the county website, you can populate list and export into excel, filter it again target properties owned for more than 10 yrs.

@Niqque Waters good luck on your journey

They replaced and brought two water heaters up to code.

In chatting and building the relationship (I’ve been helping repair some things around the duplex), he’s the one that has been discussing moving on with the property and the thought of owner financing, he mentioned the tax benefits of it all.Now he could just be testing the waters to see how much I know and what I would be willing to expose, but he’s definitely keen to the idea of it all...I guess overall I’m eager because I know the power of this property, and the willingness of information he’s been sharing with me.

New kitchen, update bathroom, new floors, some exterior work, new water heater, and paint.

Some are basic some are very detailed.You can often filter by FMV, Taxes owed, if owner lives at property address or elsewhere, how many years they are behind etc.I filter my list and eliminate too cheap and too expensive FMV.Once I have the data pruned down I start looking at every thing on GIS and Google street view.I eliminate stuff I'm not interested in.
