The tenant has been spectacular and this one comes as close to auto-pilot as possible.

Would be spectacular to see a mallard or albatross touch down.

Here are some pictures from my first fix and flip...numbers weren't spectacular but my team and I learned a lot.  

When I am done repositioning them they price out the problems.I have one inherited 3 bedroom left in my 5 family- and when they move I am gutting that and making it into a spectacular 2 bedroom.

I have 94k saved up and I feel pretty good about this even though the house doesn't look spectacular it was built in 2006 and looks remodeled on the inside.

Now something I did not know was that the many other homes not like this one but the nice palatial estates along the La Jolla cliffs that go for 10 million plus cannot be financed and must be purchased cash because that area is the fastest eroding coastline in the U.S. and parts of the houses up there frequently fall in the ocean.

Im in the process of negotiating my first flip deal and the numbers aren't spectacular (approx 20k profit) but it gets me in the game with real experience and off the sidelines, hopefully giving me confidence for the next deal.

You don't buy a rehabbed house so a tenant can trash it.While I agree I probably paid market value for it, I feel comfortable the return is reasonable if not spectacular.

Upgrade the house if you need rental income to appeal to out of state renters...and keep a week free for yourself to visit some of the most beautiful coastline in the USA!

But it's not always spectacular.
