I am asking  because I want to know if it is a good idea since I am brand new to the whole process.  

Just reading between the lines of your post, I’m going to make some assumptions, so forgive me if I’m way off…It sounds like you’ve grown up being mentored by your dad in his brand of real estate, so this is all you can see.

For us, nothing beats a postcard with excellent design, branding, and messaging.I hear that Yellow Letters get the phone to ring.

Hey guys, my name is Andrew and I am brand spanking new to this whole real estate investing world. 

They were brand new, and now their useful life has been greatly shortened. 

A local builder overextended himself and he needs to unload a brand new SFH in order to finish his other projects, multi family houses that he intends to keep for rentals.  

For example, the last sale I did, they required that I remove the brand new stainless fridge because it didn't have an ice-maker (they didn't ask for a credit or a replacement...just that I get it out of there before closing).Most of them are looking for 7-10 days of due diligence, so that could make double closing difficult, but I imagine they'd do it (I've never tried).

I didn't mention it, but it's definitely important to have the correct sheen, and to always use the same brand of paint.

As a first time investor in a brand new state and city, we aren’t totally aware of certain laws but definitely want to do what makes the most financial sense as well as ethically sound decision.  

Purchase price: $95,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $200,000 Bought a great cabin in the mountains that needed a new septic system and brand new finishings.
