PA regulates the title insurance rates:  http://www.anytimeestimate.com/PA_TITLE_INSURANCE/...Thank you, @Ray Peslar, for making me aware of that.Thanks,Chaz

They expect you to be able to sell one or two of their vacuums to your own friends of your family, whom they could not otherwise hope to reach as customers.So the gurus are feeding you a lot of hype about how to find deals when all they really expect is for you to tell an established flipper that your Aunt Martha's friend Juanita's neighbor Billy Ray just died and Billy Ray's sister told Juanita's hairdresser Marq that she just wants to get rid of Billy Ray's old house because he had a huge stash of transvestite porn in his basement that she really, REALLY doesn't want to go through and throw away to get the house ready for retail sale.What do you want to do in real estate?

Thank you Ray for the candid opinions!

@Ray HarrellYou simply do it to all.

@Ray Lai @Kyle M.

@Michael Henry do you have any resources to assist @Ray Thorsen?

@Ray ReedOh might be a job for an angle grinder

With your budget, you'll probably be limited to South Arlington, where I'd recommend Shirlington/Del Ray as those are cute, trendy areas with lots of young professionals.

@Ray Johnson I quit my CPA job before having my real estate business fully replace my W2 income.

@Ray Seaman,  great question.
