There's a gap between the soil and the bottom of the structure—as you can see below—making any termites easy to detect.We cherry picked subdivisions and properties for low maintenance.

It seems like we could take the hit today, and lick our wounds on a bad deal or take a gamble renting out and slowly bleeding it for a bit either selling it when the market gets better or hoping that the gap closes and we can turn a profit on renting.Are there any other angles that we aren't seeing?

Question about the aprizel... i heard many times here and in any podcast I'm listening the best way to get good aprizel report after you do your renovation for example to do brrrr is keep everything documented.. my question what donyou mean exactly??

For example, suppose you need $5,000 per month today to maintain your current lifestyle.

This way, I can see ROI vs. cash flow and make a decision more objectively.Market factors also matter—flips work best in hot, fast-moving neighborhoods, rentals in areas with stable tenants and steady appreciation.

For example, a real-time executed lease may come in higher than market rent at the time of appraisal, especially in rising markets where rents increase weekly or monthly and trends drive higher ceilings.

For example, how will a lender know it was unpermitted?  

Example- I have access to propert information for every property in my State (Absentee; preforeclosure, mortgage rates,.....)
