@Todd KalseyI think the biggest key is just continuing to watch your market and time your improvements accordingly.

I hope to sell it next week to a lady who grew up in that area and I will make around $30,000 for a ten year holding period.

Be sure to watch it all, particularly the last 7 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?

The sole reason for the post was to simply start to build a list of potential buyers.I was contacted by a lady who has good income but she cannot get a loan because it's 1099 income.

Often times pouring boiling water down the drains will help clear this.I do like the product THRIFT (which is sodium hydroxide crystals) for clearing out clogs and keeping sinks running smoothly; it's impressive to watch work with hot water. 

Although I have read tons and tons of books, watch 100s of videos on REI; hearing the stories from you wonderful individuals is priceless. 

A lot of this you'll begin to understand after watching/listening to podcasts or reading books/blogs/these forums.When you hear something that could lead to a potential deal, follow up on it immediately.My last deal came from a dinner with a few other couples.

I've always wanted to watch an interesting show about a large, successful landlord.

Also, I enjoy listening to or watching all of the BP podcasts every week.

We started watching the webinars and signed up as a Pro Member in December and #BiggerPockets provided sound knowledge to go from zero to six properties in less than six months.
