Basically work 12-14 hour days 6 days a week. 

I work 12 hour shifts 3 days a week with an early retirement, so i want something to do on the side that will turn into my new job at 40.

Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: But like I said its only a handful of folks I would trust to be my clients for this type of activity far more risky than vanilla lending.Why do you believe the risks are higher in the scenario I outlined where clear title is guaranteed at closing but not weeks in advance to present to an underwriter? 

My point was, I have never heard from any grounded, credible investor that any areas has dropped over 200k in a few weeks after they took on a flip. 

After some days or weeks or months, both men get in their respective planes.

Attorney contacted me a week later saying they would redeem home and mentioned he would file in probate but has not filed anything yet. 

It's not uncommon to hear horror stories about getting into underwriting and losing your deal a week before closing because of incompetence or error.

Reminder that the mom-n-pop restaurant where the mom and the pop each work 70 hours a week, and at the end of the day the net profit they pay themselves from is $80k in total.

As Brandon Turner, one of the BP OG's advises, evaluate at least 10 properties per week to see if they are worth investing in/flipping/whatever your focus is because this builds your "investor muscles" so you will know a good deal when it comes up.

I managed 100 units with a 40-45 hour week.
