You need to make sure it's furnished and has all the amenities needed for extended- stays (fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, TV, etc.)

First and foremost - know it it is way harder than in the tv shows!  

@David Smith I was lucky enough to get a proposal from TV host on spike TVs to handle operations via a management contract.

Do you want to strategically place your spotlights were you would think people would have their couch, TV, kitchen cabinets, and other strategic places throughout the property.

But it ran out of ink and I've spent the last 2 years trying to find a reason to buy more laser 'ink' for it.I think I will look deeper into Chris Goulart's and J Scott's suggestion with MyFax along with HelloFax as suggested by Ben Bakhshi - I actually signed up with HelloFax a few days ago for their free online signature feature and didn't even think about them for the incoming and outgoing faxes.I'm re-ordering business cards and figured now is a good time to change my fax number and get out of being double-billed for fax services.Rob K - Thanks buddy but I don't want to get tied down to Comcast to a point where I will lose my number if I decide I no longer want to pay for TV I don't even watch - lol.And Bridget D. - LOVE the quote!

Full time happens with 100+ units and often you see people scale a business on the side, like PM, construction or something unrelated like a resort in Costa Rica ;-) I am no different - I "retired" from my corporate career in 2015 and quickly realized that I can only watch so much daytime TV. 

. $500+mnth for the digital appendage from hand and on tv shows, gotta have it!......     

Here in GA it is a cash sale at the courthouse steps.With all the guru's and TV shows pushing "flip this house" and " a million mistakes were made and we still made money " newbies feel like they can't lose trying their hand at this stuff.In the entry levels flips new investors are overbidding due to lack of experience, construction materials are rising in cost, and contractors are in big demand so they are gouging on what they charge.

I am not looking to weigh in with my expertiese but I am nothing more than the football fan who yells at his TV about what the quarterback should have done. 

Gurus, YouTube, webinars, real estate TV shows.
