I would just add that you need to use some software (excel, wave) to keep track of your income and expenses.

Excellent.

Anyway thanks for the input and if you can recommend an *excellent* PM I would appreciate that and probably reach out to them.Cheers

Anyway, I'll close with the thought that if you're motivated enough to start real estate investing, you're better off with an excel spreadsheet and staying away from Flipsystem.

It's one of the fastest-growing cities in America and is poised to take off.

Many investors have achieved excellent returns here, making Richmond a great place to build capital for future investments.

Columbus, OH is currently ranked one of the fastest growing cities and is more affordable compared to other markets in the US.

I've been in tech for over 30 years and in Real Estate for over 20 years, our REI deals are still stressful even with excellent tech, resources and processes. 

Purchased for $200,000 with a same-day resale value of $233,000, the property offered excellent returns.

My $10k example was admittedly unrealistic.However, by way of further background, @Dustin Heiner wrote an excellent article on this topic on his website masterpassiveincome.com titled "What to Do When A Buyer Backs Out From An Assignment Of Contract".In it he suggests a scenario where the assignee decides not to proceed, perhaps after discovering a big ticket repair item that would cost significantly more than the portion of the assignment fee held in escrow.
