I check what was decided on in the design center vs what was delivered before they get stacked. 

where I failed in my business is not having a 1, 5, 10 yr plan and failing to see the assorted train wrecks coming down the track. 

I do not disagree - I think people have this FOMO and think that because this can be done that there is no risk and they are all trained light slaughtered cattle that it can be done without any money or risk.

A few of ours barely have an accent (they studied here for years).They are trained for level 1 support and filter out 95% of common issues for us, the other 5% go to management here locally to handle.

As low as .21 sqft delivered 

However, considering gross monthly income and operational expenses, I'm looking for strategies or types of properties that can provide a better net ROI.Here are some key points:Location: At least a C neighborhood that is safe for driving around at all hours.Cashflow: Investments that can deliver superior cash flow.Involvement: I have the time and willingness to handle maintenance and operational activities myself.

This market is both challenging and rewarding, ready to deliver for those who approach it with insight and a solid strategy.

Assume 10% waste for flooring material and tax, and I pay about $1.15/sf for carpet installed, on average.The supplier I use delivers to anywhere in the Atlanta metro area for a $75 trip charge.

Even if it appears your property is marketed at less than the competition, there could be something about it that makes it less desirable (busy street, near train tracks, no off street parking, run down neighbors, etc.)

Every state has a unique set of laws and regulations regarding the foreclosure process, so your ability to succeed will depend largely on where you're operating.Also, all three of these require advanced skills and background, so I wouldn't necessarily start here.That said, if you do then be sure to get top-notch training and complete deal documentation from folks who have seen at least one full real estate cycle.Rather than specializing so soon in your real estate career, I would instead recommend just getting in front of as many real estate owners with problems.Just getting really good at talking (and listening!)
