I’m looking to purchase my first fix and flip and would like to know more information and red flags to avoid when trying to do with business with lenders 

so a little red flag on my end..

Having said that, I am getting much better at analyzing properties on my own and have a specific set of criteria a property MUST meet and perform enough due-diligence research that the chance of missing major red flags are getting smaller and smaller.And yes, as the overwhelming majority of foreclosures are either cancelled or "purchased" by the plaintiff (bank) and the limited inventory (at least in Hillsborough County) is often bid-up by neophytes or snatched up by large wholesalers and other REI firms that specialize in flipping C-class properties, there are few opportunities for us little fish.To keep myself motivated, I've been keeping a log of properties that went to third-party bidders (i.e. private buyers) which I could have bought had I been monitoring the auctions during periods when I was too busy to do so.

Profitable months will be green and lower months you’ll be red.  

Added benefits: Indianapolis is pro-investor / landlord, much less red-tape for building a rental / STR empire, and the property taxes here don't drown your cash flow (although they have gone up like elsewhere). 

This to me was a red flag.

@Juliet Banks  I am sure the same would apply if you were looking for attorneys in other markets.....perhaps that should be a red flag.

Hi All,I'm a real estate newbie (for now), but thinking of interviewing  various property managers in investment markets of interest to start building the teams in preparation for that first deal..I'm sure there is a list of property management interview questions posted somewhere on here, so my question is about your interview experiences.What are some things that came up in interviews that my not be typically discussed in a regular interview script.What interview answers were red flags that you wish you had caught or noticed before signing an PM agreement?

The once pretty red front door now has children's stickers all over it. 

Hey Dan, It could be a huge red flag if the DST Sponsor is not providing their track record.
