I’m working in finance in Carmel originally from Chicago.

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen less experienced investors do when choosing their first one or two flips is thinking they can save a lot of money by doing a lot of the repair or upgrading working on their own compared with paying a licensed contractor to do the work and mainly because a person doing the work themselves are not as experienced at doing good quality work and frequently will take a lot, a lot, a lot longer to get the work done and if you are financing your deal they you will end up paying a lot more in finance interest and still maybe end up with marginal instead of good quality work and you are only delaying the date for flipping , reselling, or being able to get a property rented.

My initial inclination is to get an MBA focused in finance.

It is an old, abandoned synagogue with a 4-car garage, small backyard, and rooftop deck.

It’s great that you are dual majoring in finance and accounting, I feel as though they are great fields to go into.I wish you the best of luck!

Jim,, we are seeing that here in PDX as well... and I am good with a market that does not have multiple offers.. it makes it very hard for people and agents to make a living if you only have a 1 in 10 shot of buying the house you want..so some stability and slowing down in my mind is a good thing.but what I see on BP is people read the hyperbole articles that misquote things.. and the next thing you know they are worried its 2008 all over again.. which ( and I could be wrong of course) but none of my bankers or those in know in finance world think is a risk.. only risk would be metros losing major employment.. then it affects everyone landlords businesss and prices..

I have several houses that have infinity cash on cash returns, meaning that on my original cash, I paid cash to buy the house, fixed it up, did a cash-out refinance on the property and got all of my money back, and make cash flow.

I also have a solid background in finance. 

Do any of you have any other areas you are interested in, or actively buying in? Finally

I just tell people I am in finance.
