I think that also depends on what stage in your investing you are.

She'd come in with fake ID and apply for financing, put properties under contract that were staged, answered ads and listings applied for leases and she was good at it!

The funny thing is that once I go through all my emotional stages of missing out on a deal i wanted to make happen, i never think about it again and move on.

Just get a $1mm umbrella liability insurance policy for a couple hundred bucks a year, and you should be fine at this stage of the game.

Since going solo 18 months ago, I've done 19 flips and I have 5 in inventory in various stages.

I know this is the kindergarten stage of REI but I do need anything for resources other than a lease-option contract, a real estate attorney to review the verbiage a title company to switch the names and a bank to put the money in: This will be my 1st deal and I feel like Im missing a lot more resources, not sure what though!

Especially if home isnt staged, to much gloss and hard surfaces makes for a "cold" feel.

I agree with everything you said, and this is why I'm being cautious, because one bad deal at this stage could knock me out or deter me altogether in the future.Thanks for the rough estimate on repairs for the two items.

Can be small areas on a different stages of the market cycle being completely different separate from the big picture?

One time I was representing a client and it got into the offer/counter-offer stage.
