@Albert Hepp the flawed logic your using to state there must be some conspiratorial aspect to commissions because commissions are all but uniformed over 2%.....We can apply that exact flawed logic to Apples at grocery stores and say since apples, at every grocery store are uniformed at a price over $0.10 a piece, it "must be a conspiracy"........Take off the tinfoil hat. 

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

So it would take you over 3 years to recoup that cost... 

I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.

Now take short-term AirBnB properties like one of mine in Miami.

Hey Jonathan, Best way to learn is to go to every meet up you can and ask a tons of questions and listen to the stories of experiences investors to figure out which route you want to take in your journey.

So I personally would take that money flip a house make about a 20%-30% ROI in 3-6 month and then do it again.

You are definitely taking all the risk when buying from these sellers, especially if you only rely on the inflated ARV's etc that they provide. 

.- I prioritize building strong, professional relationships with my buyers by taking the time to understand their needs and goals.

How long did it take to flip your home  to be ready to sell?
