@Steve O'Meally,To make the @ work, do the following: Hold down the shift key and type @?

I started out purchasing foreclosures and have shifted into buy and hold single family rentals in the suburbs of Cleveland.

Quick info on me I'm 21 and I have a W2 job my hours are 7pm-7am on a rotating shift.

@Andre Noumair Investors are definitely still flipping homes in Houston, but I have noticed that many have shifted their focus to lower end homes that require a little less capital and less rehab (300 ARV and below). 

So I have to either accept that the market has shifted, or else be content with the leftovers that the serious investors have rejected. 

I can't say thanks enough.Looks like the tide has shifted towards the younger couple.

You see some seasonal shifts in markets, but that's about all.  

I am still excited to flip houses, but now I know to shift my expectations. 

I am considering shifting into an agent role in the near future, and have wondered everything you wonder.

OK, so the EPA says anything above 4 picocuries is unsafe, any good inspector will run a minimum 4 day average, in the mot occupied part of the lowest level, including unfinished basements, near the sump pit is suspicious,   it does seem to be that more are positive today, but even 4 years ago, testing was not as common, i have a system in my personal home i installed because it was 11.5, in my finished basement, i have done them in rentals and flips for bring just above 4 as well, homes may test fine, and a few years later high, due to geologic shifting, i think the big issue is houses are tight today, old home have plenty of air exchange, and it wasn't a problem just my opinion though.
