You are licensed so you can go look at homes for sale all day long for free (minus time and gas) and find deals for investors that way.

I've found it's easier to just set it up so the dryer can be electric or gas (have both hook-ups).

This house has no equity and is in a volatile market that is heavily influenced by oil and gas prices in west Texas.

Filled up gas once this whole year!

Bernie Sanders wants a 25% “house flipping” tax levied against investors who sell a property at a profit within five years of purchase.He also wants a 2 percent “empty homes tax” on the property value of vacant homes in order to discourage real estate investment.From Bernie's Website"When Bernie is president, he will:Create an office within the Department of Housing and Urban Development to coordinate and work with states and municipalities to strengthen rent control and tenant protections, implement fair and inclusive zoning ordinances, streamline review processes and direct funding where these changes are made.This office will convene key leaders, academics, experts, local officials, renters, tenants, and homeowners to create and implement these necessary solutions.Preempt laws that prevent inclusionary zoning for luxury developments.End exclusionary and restrictive zoning ordinances and replace them with zoning that encourages racial, economic, and disability integration that makes housing more affordable.Require that recipients of federal funding from the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development make these important zoning reforms.Provide funding to states that preempt local exclusionary zoning ordinances to make housing more equitable, accessible and affordable for all.Make federal funding contingent on creating livable communities.Encourage zoning and development that promotes integration and access to public transportation to reduce commuting time, congestion and long car commutes.Prioritize projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create walkable and livable communities, and reduce urban sprawl.Encourage zoning and development designed to expand and maximize the number of units fully accessible to people with disabilities.Place a 25 percent House Flipping tax on speculators who sell a non-owner-occupied property, if sold for more than it was purchased within 5 years of purchase.Impose a 2 percent Empty Homes tax on the property value of vacant, owned homes to bring more units into the market and curb the use of housing as speculative investment.Encourage “circuit breakers” on property taxes to protect homeowners in gentrifying neighborhoods from being priced out of their own homes as their property values rise.READ MORE: https://berniesanders.com/issues/housing-all/From my point of view, anything that impedes or obstructs REI's cash flow is a bad thing.

Does the house have a gas line for a dryer?

Getting a single large client can be great - but that person will quickly realize that they have you by the proverbial short hairs and can really jerk you around if they want to.Also, if you grow quickly and suddenly need to add people, getting paid after work is done can really create a cash crunch if you need to meet a weekly pay roll, or if you're suddenly consuming 500% more gas, consumables, materials, etc...

I have a duplex where there is one gas furnace.

Does it have water/sewer/septic, electric, gas, etc to the lot? 

Likewise, being a mortgage broker does not qualify (this one was actually just tested in court in 2017)For the bucket of losses, all passive losses get netted together in a given year, so all rental properties, Oil & Gas Royalties, etc - all get lumped together for the purposes of determining whether you've got an overall Net Passive Loss.
