Indeed, I'm interested in learning everything from A-Z.

@Priscilla Z. can put you on the mailing list, if you want. 

@Kim Knox is correct @Jay Z..As a flipper, you're going to want to learn your FHA flip rules back to front, inside and out.One trick I have used on the buying side of transactions: Get the offer in, get it verbally accepted, etc, on day 85 or whatever.... then ask the listing agent to hold onto it, and not sign it until day 91 or 92 to be safe.

Protect my asset I would like to learn what business entity do you use and why, and I would like to follow your path to do this correctly.Thank you,Helen Z

While I agree with Dan that the best value is in the 4 plex (Dan gave me a great tip on mine), consider whatever you invest in you should have some capital set aside for x,y,z.

So the cost of implementation could be as low as $200 for a Schlage Sense (Apple Home Kit compatible) or Connect (Wink or any Z-Wave hub) door lock plus an additional $150 for either of the operating hubs that work with the door locks to allow the door to be locked or unlocked from anywhere in one has an internet connection.

For example, as a buy and hold investor, I will pay a little more for a property that my research has indicated will appreciate in value over time, which is the name of our game.In their case,however, I can say they didn't buy correctly, in that they may have paid too much or didn't put enough down, didn't do XY&Z, the list can go on and on; but, now they want to get out.I see this a fabulous opportunity to expand my portfolio, but I have to spend my capital correctly.I offered a formula of let's say for every $2 I spend, I attain $1 of value in the property.

Your state may allow you to put a section in that states you will keep the full security deposit in the event of abandoning the property, which is constituted by actions X, and/or Y, and/or Z, and also allows you to attempt to recover any losses in rent until the unit is occupied again, in addition to whatever damages you had to correct.

Also I believe @Dani Z has the right idea, especially for someone starting out - invest locally.
