MLS is priced aggressively and nets no profit (flip) or cash-flow (BRRRR) unless you low ball. 

I did a live in flip but hind sight I would have done better with a MF3) Use the excess money to snag a couple dealsCan't change the past, if we all had a crystal ball it would make life amazing.

However, as I said the "big D" has left me in debt up to my eye balls!

We have made an offer for a property and it turns out City of San Diego has asked the seller to replace the uneven side walk by the property does any one has an idea about ball park figure to replace a city side walk?

I want to continue to invest in the property especially after getting back the inspection report which had a little more work than expected but I can roll with the ball!

Like most have already stated, there will always be some type of curve ball in a flip, small or big. 

And any time a journalist or anyone else claims to know, the first question I have for them is: "If you say that you have access to this accurate crystal ball, then why aren't YOU a billionaire?!"

Slowly moving projects when forced to by clients.I should have fired him 2 years ago but I was pot committed and didn't have the balls to start over with a new consultant.What I learned is that moving on quickly from an underperforming consultant is vital. 

And the Mexican government will do whatever to protect the golden goose, as they have proven time and time again.The renderings of many projects look great and the projects will end up looking great.

I am grateful we attended the rich dad seminar because it is what got the ball rolling for us for a minimal cost.
