Having watched many prior co-workers get paid, cash their check at the casino, and promptly deposit it all into a slot machine I can tell you with pretty good certainty that casinos don't have a positive effect on disposable income and good use of the existing income in the area surrounding :)Are there solid local employers OTHER than the casino in a 15-minute drive? 

I would be buying it most likely in my own name.

This is what they provided in an email:Our team has a fixer-upper located at 103 Tropic Ct, Fort Pierce, FL 34946This Fort Pierce home consists of 3 bd/ 2 ba/ 1,342 sqft of living space on a 7,469 sqft lot. - Investment Duration: 30days (Investment + ROI in full)- Return on Investment: 45%- Purchased Price: $150,000- Rehab Cost: $30,500- ARV: $240,000- Minimum Investment: $30,500- Maximum Investment: $30,500- End Buyer Escrow Commitment: 20%Rehab Cost BreakdownRehab Cost Breakdown1.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $11,500 With the proceeds of the sale of our first fixer upper we purchased this duplex which we moved into one unit and same month purchased another duplex in another town to BRRRR.

Quote from @Kornelius Friske: We have a STR located in peoria AZ. it's 6 beds (garage conversion) and about 3900 sq ft in total. our energy bill last month was $450 and has been hovering in the $350-$450 range since we went live in august.

The day I received my RE license my wife said “so when are you going to sell your first house”?

@Renata Johnson What areas will you be looking to BRRR in?

These strategies are honestly not in the realm of "passive investment" any more though as it takes many offers.2.

It's the old adage of garbage in garbage out.
