There's a lot more to be said about building fruitful and mutually benefiting relationships where each person is the focus and not the dollar amount.  

Aggressive pricing usually means a foreclosure, HUD, tired landlord, estate sale, short sale, or basket case. 

The "flip" approach was describing special situations, which can often bear fruit in 6 months or less (though admittedly much less reliably so than a house flip).

I am skeptical about the West End but man, a lot of rehabbers are putting their eggs in that basket.

I keep an eye on the numbers to make sure they work and hopefully a few years down will see the fruits of my labors.Thanks for the comments.

That I had started buying them 10 years ago when pricing as better and there was a lot more low-hanging fruit.

I think it is a decent idea, but I would be careful not to put all the eggs in one basket.

We filled in a pool, that had a cement apron and vinyl liner,, we put back in partial clay and sand, it would have been better if we had used all sand.. we would get standing water after large rain storm.. city made us remove all concrete, mechanical, and liner only thing they would allow was small amount of loose chunks of concrete size of basket ball,  other wise it all went. it cost us about 4 grand to fill in the pool.. 

But in my opinion, a business partnership is ultimately much more fruitful.

My heart is telling me that finding and working with investor clients is not only going to be fruitful monetary, but also educationally.
