I know on the flip TV shows, they have a contractor around letting them know costs, but it is usually before they even buy the house.

Finding new tenants every year, dealing with room mate issues, damages, having to include all utilities and even TV and internet (many student landlords do this) all raise costs.

Today It's hard to read the news or watch TV in NYC without hearing about the skyrocketing values of Bed stuy real estate.

Loan to experienced flippers first, watch the renovation process up close (it's a lot different than it looks on TV), then try one yourself once you feel comfortable dealing with contractors, vendors, designing, etc.

I'm not on a TV Show, I didn't write a Best Selling Book.  

I can't turn off the house flipping/hunting shows on tv.  

Landlord crashed vehicle a block or so away and was rushed to hospital - Landlord died from gunshot wounds. for more info and details you can check our local TV station websites for more details -  

Do I need to join an Investing Group, or attend the seminar's advertised on TV by various Guru's in the industry, go take a realtor course to become an agent?

I am talking to someone now about doing the same as the previous viewer/comment to see the transaction first hand.

does it include running the cable TV lines?
