Global Opportunity

The purchase price is only the beginning

Structural repairs, roofs, plumbing, electrical work, permits, professional fees and delays can exceed the advertised price many times over.

Before making an offer

Read every program obligation. Obtain an independent survey and multiple contractor estimates. Confirm utility connections, access, renovation deadlines, deposits, penalties and permitted future use.

Manage the distance

Decide who will inspect work, approve payments and document progress. Maintain a substantial contingency fund. Treat a restoration home primarily as a lifestyle project unless rental demand and resale value are independently proven.
