I will continue to look at MLS listings as well, but feel developing these relationships with regular buyers will land me better deals occasionally.

@Nicholas Leslie I don't work with mobile homes very often other than an occasional manufactured home affixed to owned land. 

Think 2-3 months of vacancy, perhaps scaling back any major hits to your reserve (keeping rehab costs down), and re-running numbers in a not-so-bloated economy.It could take years to recover, so make sure your deal has long term promise.

Is getting the broker’s license worth it as someone who invests in multifamily holds and the occasional flip?

They are people you know from the REIAs, your network, your friends and family.I tell everyone that I know that I buy houses and occasionally I need some money to buy and rehab them.

Of course there will be the occasional resale that isn't a flip, but I think for most purposes, this is close enough. 

We own a few rentals in Killeen and currently looking for an honest, reputable Handyman that can help us with rent-ready preparation and occasional minor repairs.

BP has been a source of information, occasional frustration, distraction and humor.

Just have to dig through lots of listings and occasionally get lucky. 

Jay, do you mind if I ask, if you were a medium size fix and flip and occasional hold investor right now, what would you be doing or looking for?
