That said, I’m also open to other investment opportunities (especially those within a reasonable driving distance of Austin).I’d love to connect with anyone who has strong knowledge of the Austin / regional market or experience with similar investment strategies, so feel free to reach out.

I did a search on vacant properties and then did a drive-by test yesterday.

I think there is less compliance issues, with a house the city is always sending you bs letters that you have to comply with. or a pipe bursting or someone falling in the parking. the hoa takes care of all these and takes these risks for you.I get the asteroid thing, just because there are drunk drivers out there you can't sit at home and be afraid to drive, I get all that, but these nasty lawyers will gladly gladly gladly destroy your life over the silliest thing. 

You are going to the job site and picking up the part and bringing it to return to the locker at Whole Foods or boxing up and driving it Idaho?

You can drive for dollars, go after pre-foreclosures, distressed sellers, PPC, organic search SEO, MLS expired, FSBO's, r.e. agent network, estate and probate, on and on and on. 

So yes, you need to set aside enough money to pay future taxes.Taxes are calculated only on your net profit - i.e. after everything is deducted, including labor & materials, holding costs, financing costs and business overhead such as marketing and driving. 

I am curious how many people reached out to a local flipper and said "hey can i shadow you and check in on projects for you doing drive-bys and inspections or make calls to coordinate subcontractors".. 

If your guests are typically driving in from nearby, then perhaps Fri-Fri.AnyDay-AndDay could still leave gaps in your schedule. 

hello @Lucia RushtonWhat are the factors driving jobs growth in Forney?

It sounds like also I should subscribe to dealmachine and start driving for dollars, start a marketing list for direct mail, phone numbers, etc. of about 500 properties to market to at least 6 times.
