Oh and the sweet gal, I'll be meeting her in person (believe it or not we haven't met in person yet). 

But ask me if it has been worth it.Freck yes it was worth ever time I bishhslapped my cat of the table when that freak steps all over my laptop keys when I try to make freaky and sweet love to SEO.Marketing is an art and a science.

The dog is SUPER sweet, of course, but i cannot take a chance on something happening with the dog.  

As a mortgage broker I am able to get some pretty sweet terms on the financing.

sounds like a pretty sweet deal. what are your expected cashflow on this property?

We've been doing that and it's pretty sweet since all you need to do is change the code between tenants. 

Since nobody else has said this yet I'll be that guy:  It depends on your goals.Flipping the house will get you more profit sooner, but it'll be taxed at a higher rate but it'll be liquid in a few months.Holding the property get you the long-term residual cashflow and you'll get most if not all of your starting capital back, But it'll take longer to see your profit.So to answer your question with a question...Are you looking for quick profit (sweet vacation, replace career, etc.), or are you looking for steady long-term income?

@James Carlson Sweet, thank you!

Sweet deal.  

"Motivated seller leads" is a sweet little keyword I would go after.Or D4D, CC, DMM, Bandit signs.. all juicy keywords.Now you do the same thing for motivated sellers.
