People need to do their own evaluation of what asset class(s) is going to grow their retirement account as quickly as possible.

In 2024 I target to flip 7 to 10 homes and make at least 400K to 500k profit I already got 1 home in progress with 100k expected profit... 

. $20k isn't enough to get started, but it's some real progress.

I am under contract to buyOffer was made with inspection contingency Seller agreed to repair or replace furnace a week agoI asked my realtor to check on the progress of seller and they have no real news for me a week later, other than an HVAC guy was on property- per sellers realtorMy loan is conditionally approved pending appraisalI told my realtor I’m not ordering the appraisal until I am satisfied with the progress being made to fix/ replace furnacIs that unreasonable?

Progress is slow, because amongst all my properties it's the furthest away and between a full time job and landlording, I can only work on this property on weekends.I have completed re-framing, re-plumbing of drains and supply lines and new electrical rough ins, but property has no finished walls, ceilings, or flooring. 

In January 2018, I had not heard of any progress on the new build so I contacted Morris Invest for a progress report.After countless emails and phone messages to Larry Blessman (Morris Invest Sales Agent), I was finally contacted by Larry assuring me that he would follow up and get back to me on it.

If anyone is in NJ or a similar real estate market, I'd love to hear what criteria you are using to evaluate your deals.

Your desired unit count might narrow your search enough to evaluate everything coming your way.

What motivated you and what were your first steps to dive in and not let fear or lack of knowledge stop you from making progress. 

For example, they send mediocre contractors, who sometimes don't even show up, and if they do, they don't seem to competently evaluate the problem.Any advice would be appreciated.
