Three out of my first five purchases were from the MLS.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

You could get everything in writing but you'd have to evict if purchase didn't go through.

@Malcolm Brown Are you planning to purchase a property in your personal name or via an LLC?

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

But we want to get into house flipping and have started looking at the listings here to find investors and properties.My question here is if we are in escrow and we find a property and an investor and get in escrow there, how would that affect the purchase of our new home?

The newest outdoor is still advertising 1st month free as they haven't filled up, and I spoke with the climate controlled owner/builder yesterday (he's a pretty big REI in the area), and he made it sound like he hadn't leased a single climate controlled unit since they opened a few weeks ago.I recently purchased a 140x45 warehouse with low ceilings and had debated doing self storage, but my market seems very saturated.

The city wants to tear the property and surrounding properties down Zillow said it’s worth 38000The city offer me 13000.I could use some adviceHard to give advice with limited information, but as a general rule, the longer you wait and the further down the line their project is the more valuable your property will be to them.Zillow (and all automatic online) estimates are very unreliable, so don't base on that.

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

I have heard it used different ways.I have used a version of gap funding where the hard money lender funds 85% of the flip (purchase + renovation) and the gap funder funds 10% of the deal.
