I’m grinding to get my first deal and seeing your story gets me hyped!

The upper story and deck of the residence come out over the top of the motel forming kind of an exterior corridor or breezeway that pops out on the front of the building. 

It's interesting, but every state has dozens (if not 100s) of "submarkets" that can tell a different micro story.

It’s on the rise but you just have to be selective regarding location and try to go for turnkey or keep it minimal regarding rehab  So you don’t have a nightmare story trying to manage a rehab from Out of Town. 

The chocolate is great, but sharing the story makes it even better: https://www.ktvq.com/news/local-news/a-wyoming-cowboys-journ...

I would say if you do jump in without physically going to the area...you should definitely buy in a nicer neighborhood (I hear too many stories with new investors getting burned investing in bad neighborhoods). 

I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can share our craziest fix-and-flip stories, biggest "oops" moments, and the golden nuggets of wisdom we've picked up along the way.

As an example, my neighbor added a second story to her home and the contractor gave her an estimate that she agreed to. 

Hello @Vince Au,Thank you for sharing your story here.

At yet another sale there was a brick row house/town house for sale that looked good from the street, but since it was in the middle of the row, to see the back of the house, you had to walk around the block and see the house from the alley, where the entire 3 story brick back wall of the house was laying in the back yard, and there was no back wall standing.
