Buy a quality property, stay away from the hood, rehab it as if you would move in, take your time picking a tenant, you'll be find.

Hi, any fix and flippers in here picking up at least 1 project a month?

Refinances are still active, slim pickings but some players are out there who are direct lenders, flip loans are also available (75-100K) min property other than conventional and gov backed loans.  

I would encourage you to read this beginners guide from BiggerPockets, it's a good bit of information so pick and choose what you want to read or read it all.

North side Chicago I have never even had to give a tenant a late fee and none of the tenants I have placed for clients have ever given them issues either, properly picked people pay like clockwork on autopay.

LTRs with long term conventional financing and standard management aren't really cash flowing anywhere right now. sure, there are lower cost markets that look better on paper, but there are costs associated with those supposedly cheap markets as well - deferred maintenance, more challenging tenant base, higher cost turnovers as a percentage of the rent.2. i wouldn't pick a random market thousands of miles away based solely on statistics or numbers. 

I also like contractors that have packets that allow you to pick out the stuff that you want to use for that project, which reduces the quality control process..

It’s great that you’ve already identified zip codes like 73128, 73170, and 73135; they all have unique advantages worth exploring.I agree with the earlier response—73170 and 73135 are solid picks.

Heck, find all of the listings in your office, and pick the best ones and then reach out to the agents.Ask top agents if they could refer you to any buyers/sellers/renters. 

Also I have not worked out the financing yet. if I just use my cash then the Cash on Cash drops to 8 or 9% and that would be below my Cash on Cash target.Generally speaking and of course just numbers I picked out of the air for reference when running numbers in my head, I am looking for Cash on Cash greater than 15%, high probability of long term occupancy, and no expected major Capex for 2.5 years after purchase and purchase time repairs which I would add into the cash on cash evaluation before pulling the trigger.So there are some more details to be worked out in my head but being it is my first one and only learning what I could from youtube videos I thought I would get some feedback.With all that said, in my head it seems like it could be a good start.Thanks again Jaycee and Gavin for your feedback.
