@Jay Y., you are buying the breakfast and coffee?  I am game.  Shoot me a DM :-D

@Maeling Murphy, you know I do.  I will DM you.

@Allen Thomas, thanks for the props.  It's been a roller coaster ride, but I will do it again!

@Darrell Shepherd, definitely!  Having contacts and knowledge is key!  I will DM you.

@Darrel Maxam, I have a contractor that does great work, and I personally trust.  I will DM you.

Thanks, @Anna Watkins!

@Chris Melear, after listing to all the podcasts, I thought I knew so much.  I DIDN'T!  I am extremely lucky to have a profit.  Keep track of everything.  Hold on to all of your receipts.  Be curious.  Watch the contractors as they work.  You will learn and knowledge is power.  You are in Kentucky.  Find a General Contractor that does good work, or maybe you can team up with people that are short on money.  It will make the costs lower.  When you get estimates, get it from at least 4 different people, especially if the work needs to be permitted.  I realized that trades people don't like the permit people coming behind your work, because they like to take the money and run, even though the work they did isn't up to code.  Good luck, good sir!

@Erika Stokes, thank you!

@Derrick Barker, the flip/rehab was profitable. The property was originally under contract before the property was finished.  The original people backed out, and the property went under contract for 13k more then it was originally.  A good problem to have don't you think? The property was purchased for $89,000, and sold for $218,000.  Hit me up if you have any questions.  SW ATL is on the rise!  It's kind of my thing :-D.  

@Rush Wall, thank you!
