Sorry for the length, but we are loosing money and need help!

Quote from @James McGovern: Is there any guidance published on tactics that new home builders should embrace such as one sided contracts to excessive markups on upgrades?

@Nathan Crandall Those prices are quite excessive.

I am between lawyers and would prefer not putting down a 2k retainer to ask this question, so I'm asking here in case this is an easy or common thing to do.I purchased a property at mortgage foreclosure auction - own it free and clear now except for the ~$2,000 HOA payoff, which in Florida follows the property.I already sent a check to the HOA's law firm before I had this idea:Since I paid for the house ~20k more than the judgement was, there are excess funds to be disbursed.

LWO opens one to all the downsides of tenant laws, and you loose uncapped earning potential because sold a purchase option on it capping self. 

With how much real estate prices have increased it is unlikely you will fully eliminate capital gains in excess of the $500K exemption (assuming married filing joint) but any improvement costs you have support for can be added to your homes basis will help lower the gain amount 

.- Preventative maintenance & inspectionsRegularly scheduled inspections catch small leaks, loose handrails, or pests before they become costly repairs.

If the holes are excessive or hard to patch then go ahead and charge.  

If you make 6-7 figures and have excess income you can cover things, gives you room to invest more.

They may remove the animals if there are an excessive number not cared for.
