It's not worth your license and reputation.

That’s why I'm excited to announce that Invelo now has  AI Driving for Dollars—and no, it doesn’t require a single mile on your car.Here’s what it does:🧠 Uses AI + Google Street ViewIt scans properties virtually and looks for signs of physical distress like boarded-up windows, overgrown lawns, peeling paint, roof damage, etc.📍 You Control the AreaJust draw a box on the map around the neighborhood or zip code you want to target.

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The bad reputation of “Detroit” comes from OOS investors wanting sub $40,000, D class properties in poor condition, because they pencil out to 2-3% deals on paper.

Quote from @David Robertson: Kiara provided a great summary of the major phases of a rehab.  ...Here's an example of a typical rehab project that starts with the Exterior Work, I like the Gantt chart idea and wonder if there is a good reason for the order of:1. site cleaned right after exterior paint instead of way at end2. bathroom tiled before paint, now it can get damaged with paint3.how can you guarantee 2 weeks from cabinet measure to install?

Water damage claims in particular can be red flags.

Additionally, how long after the sale is a seller legally responsible for nondisclosure—particularly if the undisclosed items result in issues or damage?

That's more true now than ever before as Airbnb has further and further stripped hosts of their ability to reasonably recoup costs from bad guests without sabatoging your own business.  3rd party damage insurance like Waivo or Safely is a must these days but that's yet another cost that feels like nickel and diming.It's just the reality of the business. 

Small claims court can be an option if your damages fall within Ohio’s monetary limits (currently up to $6,000 in most jurisdictions), but you may also want to consult a real estate attorney for more serious claims or contractual breaches.Consider filing a complaint with the Ohio Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing if the companies are licensed and you believe they acted unethically.If you’re still looking for a reliable property manager, especially one who understands the unique needs of out-of-state investors I’d love to connect.

Quote from @Erik Estrada: Hey Camilo, Why not just work with a reputable lender on here?

@Nicholas StevensonVery great post with a lot of in depth questions.I'd always recommend chatting with more reputable private/hard money lenders in your local area in order to build a relationship with them & learn as much as possible.I have been doing private lending for about 4 years now & is a great way to be at the top of the totem pole in investments, controlling them & make the right investments on good quality deals & individuals.
