@Daniel Paloscio If you are using the agent on both ends and they are collecting 5-6% from the sale, and you still need to assign to an investor that can make a profit plus whatever assignment fee you would make, thats taking a lot of juice out of the deal.

This is low hanging fruit for the IRS. 

Thus far my Google searches haven't been very fruitful. 

You have to go for the low hanging fruit - are these people distressed or is there any evidence they might need to sell. 

I would suggest getting something where you can get a medium term rental that may juice your cash coming in.

Fruit tree and pines greet you as you pull up the long drive way to the brand new front deck with large picture windows.

If all your contractors make money but you break even, was the juice worth the squeeze?

My grandfather has since passed (lived a long fruitful life) and my uncle didn't qualify for the lease through the property management company in order to stay in the home (I don't know what his income is but I think it's pretty minimal). 

I feel like the ambulance chaser attorneys are looking for low hanging fruit.

I have been planning on building a cold pressed juice company as well as putting $80k or so on the new house.
