Someone interested in the home will offer and you can counter. 

You can drive for dollars, go after pre-foreclosures, distressed sellers, PPC, organic search SEO, MLS expired, FSBO's, r.e. agent network, estate and probate, on and on and on. 

So yes, you need to set aside enough money to pay future taxes.Taxes are calculated only on your net profit - i.e. after everything is deducted, including labor & materials, holding costs, financing costs and business overhead such as marketing and driving. 

If your guests are typically driving in from nearby, then perhaps Fri-Fri.AnyDay-AndDay could still leave gaps in your schedule. 

I am curious how many people reached out to a local flipper and said "hey can i shadow you and check in on projects for you doing drive-bys and inspections or make calls to coordinate subcontractors".. 

I lined some prospective new tenants kind of took my time, was picky, didn't find the right tenant yet, plus I had to get in there and paint/repair etc  but towards the end of the 60 days I was showing the place to some i thought was gonna fit and lo and behold the tenant calls me the day he suppose to be moved out and told me he changed his mind, going thru personal stuff and wanted to stay.

hello @Lucia RushtonWhat are the factors driving jobs growth in Forney?

- Measurements of all sheetrock, flooring, cabinetry, counter tops, etc that need to be replaced for estimates.We’re both ambitious but also realistic about the risks.

It sounds like also I should subscribe to dealmachine and start driving for dollars, start a marketing list for direct mail, phone numbers, etc. of about 500 properties to market to at least 6 times.

That drive will do you well heading into your future.
