@Chad Clanton, if you get through all of this and make a profit on your deal, I'd congratulate you on an unforgettable and invaluable learning experience and ultimately, a very positive result for you on this one.

Leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

When buying property you have to know how much to fix up to get performing or being able to sell it or is it going to be demolished and would you have residential or commercial land.Cheaper isn't always better.I can buy a dollar burger that tastes like crap or get a great burger for 20 dollars.It's takes looking around to find a great burger for 6 to 7 dollars.It's the same with real estate.

It will give you a chance to see how being a landlord is, dealing with one tenant, managing a small property as well as putting other people's money to work for you IE. having your tenant substancially pay down your mtg freeing up cash for you to do other things with IE. invest, save, pay off debt. etc. and finally be able to capitalize on some great tax advantages on your federal tax return.Owner occupying and managing a small 2 family is about as easy as it gets IMO and this will give you a taste of the business.

another thing - studies indicate that cpvc leaves "plastic" taste in the water.

Its right at the edge of the foothills, so you get a taste of the the mountains.

hope you like what you had for lunch enough to taste it twice...http://www.inc.com/magazine/201109/inc-500-the-armando-montelongo-company.html

The work that was done was too good to redo, but not up to my standards and taste.....

But for my personal taste, this is just a bit thin.

When a buyer walks in my flip after walking through 8 other houses I want them to notice the added sizzle features like granite countertops, that it's cleaner than other houses (i.e. windows washed inside and out) and it's tastefully staged.
