Now I have my realtor that sold me the house do a quick monthly walk-through (less than 5 minutes) to flag anything I’d miss from afar.

Counter with your $58k and see who blinks first but be prepared to walk away if you do not get what you feel would be a fair adjustment. 

So my neighbor has been walking through my yard I went to his house and I asked him Not to be in my yard.

That’s the key to doing your first deal right.Let’s walk through each of your options and how they align with your goal of a long-term rental (LTR) out-of-state:Option 1: HELOC — Great for FlexibilityThis sounds like a strong offer for a few reasons:6.5% fixed intro rate = solid hedge early onNo upfront or hidden feesInterest-only structure lets you control cash flow until rent kicks inYou don’t tie up your cash — gives you room for capex or reservesStrategic Tip: Use the HELOC as your down payment source, then finance the rest with a conventional or DSCR loan.

.- This Isn’t Just a Disagreement—It’s a Red Flag Behavior- You approved $5,500 after a walk-through.- You were never informed of a price change before or after the work.- They’re demanding $10,200, and refusing to give a real breakdown.Now they’re adding extra charges ($2,400 tarp, $1,500 “breach of contract”) and threatening a lien?

Contractors usually won't walk properties until you have it under contract

Going to walk a 92 unit in Atlanta tomorrow and I just got out of a call and a friend pointed out that washer and dryers may not be the best idea for stories higher than 2??

This being said, I love your sense of humor and it's great that you suggest that investing in a business in Mexico might not be like a walk in the park because you're absolutely right with that.

Walk the perimeter and identify what needs improvement, from overgrown shrubs to worn-out pathways.

If you'd like to see it shoot me a message.My process from my very first house flip 11 years ago until today has been to walk the project with my general contractor, explain everything that I'd like to have done in detail, and then give them a few days (up to a few weeks on bigger jobs) to give me a detailed estimate.
