So, you would be wise to find someone with a plan for how to present your property and reach potential buyers in that case.

Is this a valid fear or is that an old wise tale about being able to claim land just because you did stuff to it? 

But it would be wise to have adequate amount of reserve in a liquid investment such as mutual fund.

For common jobs they may have a fixed rate other wise they will charge by the hour. 

@Colby Mulry I am working on the same things as far as having partners come on board, and some of their main desires besides strong long term gains are the current benefits tax wise. 

Business wise quickbooks or any number of others are probably better for the situation you describe quicken would work fine. 

Hi @Tyson Dierschke I don't have a long detailed post; however this sounds like this could be a really good deal worth digging into and crunching all the numbers and really deciding what you can handle in regards to the flip and if time wise it is doable.

I'd imagine you have to break this down into smaller chunks other wise almost no one will be able to approach this.

RE agent does the showings and basic screening. after basic screening - when I am doing my screening from applicants , I take my time to try to CHOOSE as WISE as I can , meaning I am looking for long time relationship , with a tenant, a person, it is a relationship like nay other . if you choose smart - you will have a long time tenant , with no MIDDLE MAN. 

I've fixed pretty much everything unless it was over my skill set (replacing capacitor on A/C system, for instance; landlord told me when I moved in it was okay to repaint or whatever as long as it improved the house), my neighbors love me - they've told him so; I've resodded the yard twice (FL grass sucks with a dog), had the landscape crew redo the trees in front so they look good, replanted flower beds (perennials), power washed the house every year after wet season ended, ensured the pest control worked...The BUT part ...As a sole practioning consultant (pre-IPO weakness remediation, large financial systems implementations, global audit recommendations for SEC registrants, etc.) at times during the last 3 years things have been sink or sink lower credit wise and the ID theft didn't help (apparently, I bought a car in GA and own some property in TX).
