This is my conversation going forward with the guys who I bring in.All that said this is going to take some time to work out and this apartment on first floor is mostly without power for the last 3 months.

@Jeffrey Scott Helms --Attend the Charlotte Deal Maker Sessions, which meets once a month.

We were pretty close to going in on a duplex in portland a couple weeks ago, but couldnt get the numbers to work out right.Anthony - would love to talk with you more about your interest in the multi-family space. 

The reasons why depends.. and in my opinion irrelevant.I wouldn't really flip in bridgeport (unless the numbers are really amazing).. buy and hold is always an option .. again .. if the numbers work out.

@Mark Shelstad did the folks I sent you work out? 

What did your overall $/SF work out to be?

Locally in NM though, I am interested in finding properties to BRRR or flip, depending on how the numbers work out.

I'm sure you can image how by the hour would work out for you in the long run.Check the references if you haven't used them before.

I'd personally go with the higher cash flow unless the costs of repairs were just as much as the other property costs then it might work out better to get the lower cashflow.

As long as the numbers work out in the end and you have planned for contingencies and such you should be fine.I just wanted to clear up that I am not against flipping.
