I never try to predict the short-term RE market as it is similar to timing the stock market and is easy to not time optimally.  

On the first page, there should be a menu on the left and side.Click vendors.Then look in the upper right hand corner and click the green button that reads "new vendor"

Flipping homes while going to school and living a few hundred miles away seems like a recipe for sub optimal returns on your first deal.  

Optimize for the best deal on the finance side for sure.The trick is that convention loans will normally not be approved if the property cannot be occupied & insured.

I'm trying to optimize my tax strategy.

I dislike the snowball method for the simple reason that it is a sub optimal choice.

You might want to look at the property itself and see if you can optimize the rents further. 

Seems your copywriter is struggling with grammar;Almond media services has helped a number of different start up businesses as well as assist existing businesses (to) optimize there their digital marketing to directly increase (ing) their revenue.

It's up to you to continually optimize your campaigns.

It's not always the case but in general the buyers I have seen that call multiple brokers ( throwing stuff to the wall and see what sticks approach ) tend to not find the optimal property because brokers knowing the buyer is all over the place and not loyal the brokers do not want to work hard for them.What happens then is the days go by and then the buyer panics to lock in properties which end up being sub-optimal just so they do not pay tax penalties from a failed 1031 exchange.
