Inventory is constantly moving, and there is a lot of opportunity here in Hampton Roads.

I could rent it as-is but would rather not - would rather not deal with the constant calls to fix stuff if its rented out.

The yard of this property backs up to a beautiful park and public lake access is within walking distance.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Accessing cash-flowing projects that offer tax advantages as well as a 2X multiple, or an IRR  close to 20% can be an attractive alternative to many other options for investing.regards,Joe

I prefer to get an appraisal done so I can borrow through FNMA but lack of access is hampering that plan.
