On the positive side, they built it will all the comforts of the US and it had recreational facilities. 

The "utility" closet, where the AC unit was located, was unfinished, with exposed metal studs, and various wires for the thermostat, power, and other items draped around loosely.

Hi BP community — looking for some strategic direction from investors who’ve built consistent side income in real estate without deploying a lot of capital.Quick background:I’ve been active in real estate from 2024–2026 (mostly flips, landlord and small deals).

Before I go deep on comps, rehab line items, or exit strategy, I’ve been tightening up how I screen deals on the front end.Lately, instead of anchoring on a single ARV or best-case rehab, I’ve been pressure-testing deals using: ARV ranges (low / mid / high instead of one number) Rehab bands (cosmetic vs moderate vs heavy)Explicit known vs unknown risks (interior access, occupancy, title, etc.) 

right lolthis is a idea my agent came with, witch i think economical.Instead of getting a construction loan and doing a refi. after getting a CUP I can do an owner built and pull permits one faze at a time. and fund when need to. what do you guys think?

I’ve successfully built a stack that automates the intake and skip-tracing process for approximately $0.15–$0.30 per lead (API costs only).The Strategic Flow:Data Integrity: Using Google Address Autocomplete to ensure zero-error data entry from the start.Instant Valuation: Pulling real-time market data to provide the seller with a custom offer range immediately.Automated Skip Tracing: The system automatically pulls legal owner names, mobile numbers, and emails the second the form is submitted.Remote Management: I manage the entire logic (margins, repair costs, SMS triggers) through a Slack/Telegram integration so I don't need a heavy CRM.I’m currently running this through a Google Sheets backend to keep the tech stack lightweight.I’m curious to hear from the veterans here—at what volume does it make sense to move away from 'all-in-one' platforms and into custom API-driven automation?

I'm Sarah, based in Baltimore, MD.I run a property management and court coordination company built specifically for small independent landlords in Baltimore City.

What kind of investors are you trying to serve most, flips, burr, or buy and hold, and are you willing to do quick video walk throughs with a tape measure and a few close ups of the big ticket items?

That tracks with what I've seen too, tax delinquent has that built-in urgency.

here is some values for my market assuming no crazy trees or other big maintenance items (pool, etc)  and no exiting large maintenance/cap ex coming (such as needing new roof, kitchen, foundation, plumbing, etcclass low b to low c, 2/2, ~800’unit- attached; $450/month- detached: $550/monti recently did undereriting on a 4/2/1 cabin that I used $650/month. may seem crazy high tomany.
