But it could lead to evaluating hundreds if not thousands of cities, which is impractical due to the time required and insufficient data for smaller cities.The other method is to eliminate all cities that are unlikely to be good investment locations, and the remaining few are worthy of further investigation.

Again, keep in mind that these meeting will not have hundreds of people....we're just not that large a place.

Back in Washington where we fix & flipped properties I did anything from general contracting from demo to finishing touches, managed project budgets & timelines to stay within our projections and SOW, raised capital for down payment on hard money loans, interest on loans and rehabs, worked with my hands (best at flooring, trim, caulk, cabinets, fences, punch list items) and was the real estate agent for acquiring and selling our flips.

I have a a filing cabinet where I keep copies of current leases and that also has contact info for tenants. 

Who does he have to do framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, drywall, paint, tile, cabinets and counters, flooring, roof?  

We've already collected around 20,000 pre-reservations, equating to approximately $30 to $40 million, and have received hundreds of requests to build individual units.We’ve completed the first unit, which has passed the final county inspection under a residential permit, and are actively working on the second phase.

I discover why it was sold at the tax sale, seek out the previous owner and get a quit claim deed from them (even if a new deed was awarded from the tax sale), then attack the collection deed and win the property back, usually for just a few hundred dollars. 

the only thing with your statement out here on the west coast you need a cashiers check for the minimum bid before your allowed to bid... so if you have hundreds of thousands in the bank you certainly can do this.. if your trying to do the no money out of pocket make middle man fee's simply won't work on the west coast..

We looked at hundreds of homes and are now closing on a duplex that will cash flow with a small amount of equity. 

Just purely looking at numbers property 2 comes out ahead buy a few hundred bucks a month depending on how high it gets bid up.Any advice on this?
