To survive, you have to know that is a business however, not a job. 

Money for the down payments that comes in like an annuity either from your W2 efforts or from owning another business.

I was previously in construction equipment rentals and did real estate on the side.

I have been doing construction my whole life so the work is not something that I am worried about.

I would love to hear from others doing flix and flip in NYC on their experience on doing this business.

They take good care of the properties, but there's not enough attention given to pricing strategy and they spend money like nobody's business (not a problem when they were spending their own money on the master lease model, but a BIG problem when they were suddenly spending OUR money as the PM).

We know that investing in real estate means building a business that incorporates the right investment strategy, tax & legal plan, financing, retirement planning, insurance & estate planning. 

Lots of posts on different companies so be sure to check out what people have said about vendors you are considering doing business with.

You may have to do this several times for all the different tasks being done.The only labor cost not covered by this type of online inquiry is drive time from the businessto the property, to the store & back for supplies and then back to the business address.

Start with small goals, and soon enough, you'll find yourself turning away business.
