I have all kinds of specific searches set up for my investor clients to help find the best deals. 

I have a property that I purchased in Madison NC (about 25mins north of Greensboro). 

Purchase price: $2,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $91,000 Bought this one from WCLB with the intention to fix it and sell on market to homeowner.

So I want purchase it as my first rental property it's going to need rennovations for sure not terrible shape just older rancher home.

That is illegal unless you have specific licenses. 

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

We're crunching numbers and planning to make purchases this year in the self-storage space.

On a positive note we did build a new house to the specifications of a specific tenant. 

.: Going to be moving to Chicago next year; looking to purchase a rental property down the line in 1-2 years and just really confused where to go.

Purchase price: $88,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sale price: $179,900 Found this deal from another agent who was initially going to list on the public market, but thought of me prior to doing so.
