Teaching has the main benefit of summers off, not the pay, so savings is light, but time in the summer is there.Find local meetups and go to at least one a month and don't try to find out how to do a deal, you aren't ready, find out why you want to do a deal.

I got faith that my "BP Fam" can shed some light on this for me, so big thanks in advance.

If you make it "generic" and try to push rents, you will get some alright tenants, and of course, if you have a dirty property with half the lights burnt out, you will get less than stellar tenants.

We did a light rehab which included paint, carpet, fixtures, turf in the backyard, and a new roof.

In one case, he actually was instruction the incompetent attorney for the former owner on how to present his case in the best light for the judge. 

Or maybe even just focus on properties with a very light rehab?

In light of the recent lawsuit against the National Association of Realtors (NAR), There has been significant discussion regarding real estate commissions following this settlement.

Glad to see someone bringing this to light here.

If you truly have the best house after your rehab in that range, type, style, amenities, etc. then by all means see what you can get, work with the appraiser and see if he has room for adjustments that he feels are justified, just don't ***** about it if it;s lower and he doesn't see things in the same light as you do.

Steps I was thinking of following:1) Get electrical up to code since its all 2 prong outlets and the panel is way outdated.2) painting of the whole house3) Demo kitchen and bathroom4) Renovate kitchen/bathroom5) install new floors6) input new appliances7) input new light fixtures8) etc.
