Been listening to the podcasts on my daily commute and learning a lot about the different ways/strategies people have invested in real estate.

Take those away or lessen them to reduce my taxes on ordinary income takes away the best opportunity that I have as an individual in the poor and middle class to financially succeed and it puts me in the daily grind where I have to be at the whims of market forces and other people's selfish decision making for my financial future.I am not a billionaire or corrupt...that's class warfare that creates divisiveness, which does not create opportunity for any of us in any class.There are consumers and there are investors and that is driven by each person's personal decisions.  

I now also automate an email that gets sent to my cleaners at 7AM daily with the following day's checkouts so there are no surprises.

I'm going through the zoning process as we speak.I've been listening to the podcasts almost daily for a little over a year and have been educating myself on REI much more than I ever have before.

I am not really sure how if it came on the MLS on 9/30, I didn't see it until 10/4 from both an automated listings that was being sent to me daily and also on realtor.com. 

ok I don't buy a lot of flips anymore, but I did some in Vista,and mostly north county if I come across a great one I buy it but I get a lot of deals in my desk daily I can send you some of the ones I don't take I am more focus on multifamily and land development now.

OK this is quite simple.your purchase price is 391k  seller pays the lien from their proceeds.. 203k gives you the 50k for rehab you move in..Are you not being represented by a competent RE broker.. this is really remedial real estate and not complicated at all.. and these things are handled daily as you would be surprised how many sellers have title that looks like a rap sheet   LOL.

Quick thoughts...Have you factored in costs to turn over almost daily?

@Theresa Omeludike When it comes to MLS, setting up good parameters for your daily email search results is key.
