Hey Georges first off I'd like to congratulate you on getting started!

Congratulations on the new investment, as well! 

Congratulations!!!

Notice I have never tried to correct you on our inherent problem. yup one of my homes that's was the case poorly built.. and in Texas were no licenses were or are required.. this happens.. and guess what those are usually the distressed homes.. this market for fix and flip in my mind is for the local pro's I got my butt kicked and will never go back.. and then when your fooling with these homes.. the tax's pile up on you.. and then of course when your just about done you get hammered by a hail storm and have to go through roof replacement..  

This comes with it's pros and cons but I don't see that as a bad option. or...I was also thinking of staying with my parents another year or 2, stock piling cash from the house flipping I do with my parents business, and then save up enough to buy a 8+ unit building to rent out.
