The light coming through the trees causing a little lens flare is something a lot of photographers will do on purpose!

Given the fact GA and FL are syndicate states, you would think the same rules would apply. 

@Alex Ng Because I have worked with my contractor for about 20 years now in some form or fashion( he started out shoveling my roof), he usually walks all of the properties I look at on my initial visits and gives me a rough estimate on cost of rehab and a time frame for completion based on his current schedule and how much time he has to devote to the project.

will it flare up next winter.

I first had to get all the court cases under control which meant totally buttoning the building up and literally shoveling foot tall by three foot in diameter piles of dried feces out of the place.

So how did you take this house in the state it was in and get it through city permitting to a shovel-ready (or sledge-hammer ready) state?

Whenever you find yourself in a deep hole you need to drop the shovel and stop digging Your property management is obviously and grotesquely incompetent In every facet of their business You must immediately Make the bleeding stop You must stop allowing people to steam roll over you and get their hand out of your back pocket Today is the day to lay the law down and seize control of your investment from these incompetent grifters .

Then they'd search courthouse records, drive by, check the MLS and see how much BS the Montelongo's and A&E were shoveling that week.There were houses that were rehabbed on the show that the Montelongo's never owned, houses that supposedly sold on the show but not in real life, improvements and landscaping that were taken out after the show, and a woman that, if I recall correctly, was the mother-in-law one week and the open house buyer another week.All part of "reality shows", I suppose, but Armando made it part of his credibility kit, claiming huge numbers of successful rehab flips despite a lack of evidence in the real world.

Remember the truism that selling shovels to gold miners is how you make money in this world and not by gold mining. 

July & August in Raleigh are hot and humid but you do not have to shovel sunshine.
