Additionally, if I successfully am able to secure the property (again, seems like this is a must) then should I just keep pushing through the renovation to try and break even on the flip?

You can sometimes push the selling price higher with multiple interested buyers in a bidding war.Additionally, selling property in a hot market means you can usually negotiate better terms.

However, the rapid rise in housing costs is dramatically impacting people who live and work in Worcester, pushing them farther west and south in search of more affordable options to buy or rent.

The technician supposedly replaced the doorknob with new one; which probably pushed the price higher. 

The profits from my business were rolled into real estate, and then the real estate profit were rolled in to buy more real estate.The key is to be consistent, and to have a plan with what you are buying, and have an exit strategy for each dealGood luckGino

Current plan is to take out an equity loan on the property (tax rolls have it at ~$300k) and use some additional cash to build 4 units, then refi, then build additional units until we have ~20 doors on the property. 

Despite this, substantial changes are imminent and will start rolling out this year.The initial change will be the mandatory registration of all short-term rentals, accompanied by a registration fee.

Having a boring job is great if your pushing yourself on your GC.2.  

Let's say next Spring if you hydro mulch and water and fertilize like crazy you can have a nice yard full of grass in the back next summer.I have seen some builders about this time of year use some kind of roll out mats to keep the dirt covered until the house is ready or Spring for sod. 

I get 25k rolled into my mortgage for repairs right off the bat, which is a buffer in case of the seller countering or having to sweeten the deal.
