I wanted to settle on a target neighborhood that I knew intimately before I committed to rehabbing a project from start to finish.

However, I think when you start talking about becoming a top producer as an REA, that's takes more commitment to that side of the business than I think allows you to work toward becoming an MREI.Sure, if you want to take what I think is a slower route to becoming the MREI as an REA, you can, but that's more of a time commitment to being an REA than I want.

With other commitments and the holiday I wasn't able to get out to the Post Office before New Years.However like a generally good tenant that might do one thing to really piss me off I decided to focus on the good and didn't file the paperwork to get rid of her

We did a hotel deal that was finalized in getting a commitment on the phone in probably about 30 minutes, but: That isn't done by just anyone unless you name is Walton or Gates or Buffet or other very wealthy folks, where you might have some opportunity or cause and the investor(s) have knowledge of your offering, your reputation, your abilities to perform and where that fund raiser has the financial expertise and social skills to carry off such a commitment.

@Tom Scott, you're getting some good advice and as a committed Flipper, here's my 2 cents worth.

Many people in my market feel like they're only going to be here for a couple of years and don't want to "commit" by buying a place.3.
