Wow! Thanks Raechelle Carroll awesome advice! I'm a newbie investor and I can really identify with dealing with the negative Nancy's and losing steam after not having found my first deal. This was exactly what I needed to read this morning. Thank you!

Andrew Cordle Love this look. Do you have your contractors spray the cabinets?

Thanks for chiming in everyone. I'm of the mindset that there's more than enough to go around, so why not share your knowledge. No matter how much you share, the greatest, most unique asset anyone has in their RE business is themselves. No two investors will walk the exact same path. I'm just so surprised and humbled at the willingness to share in this community and that makes me think that many other industries may be stuck in the mentality that ideas and information are scarce and should be kept close to the vest.

Why do you think so many RE investors are willing to share their knowledge with newbies and other investors? I've dabbled in a few other businesses before getting started in RE and every time I would ask a more seasoned/experienced professional in those fields for advice or guidance, it seemed as though they didn't want to share their "secrets". Don't get me wrong, I'm so appreciative that the RE community is different, but why do you think that is?

Michael Quarles Any chance you could post the new link to your due diligence checklist? I'm just discovering this post and it seems like the link is no longer working.

What a shame. Seems like many of these homes will just sit, because the price they're asking for these rundown properties is pretty unreasonable. 

I'm on the hunt for my first deal and feel a bit confused about bank owned properties that are in foreclosure.  I'm finding many listings for these properties at a close to retail price, but can tell from the online pics that they need full rehabs.  Will banks entertain a much lower offer than what the listed price is?  

Also check out Rehabber Pro. Great meetup with flipping case studies.

Andy C. & Jay Phillips Do you have to order the cabinets in advance or have you been pretty lucky with them having everything in stock? And do you usually let the in-store kitchen designers help you plan the layout?

Thanks for the responses everyone.  @Steve Yoo and @Travis Hamilton  Thanks for the info, that really helps!
