You can only pick one market for your local channels.

As a seller, I'd prefer having due diligence money that I can credit back to buyer at closing but it's mine if they release, as I've dealt with too many buyers nit-picking over $10 inspection items like the oven range safety thing or use the inspection period to back out if a better deal hits the market or try to negotiate a lower price even if no big issues found, and I think due diligence money solves those problems.  

As for laundry room you can pick the cheapest (white/black) since no one can see it and it's not as visible.

I've heard of mentees who started cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

The gulf coast is a great place to invest and receives tons of visitors every year but we are seasonal(you'll earn most of your money March - Oct) and there is a lot of competition so you can't just pick any property listed in the MLS and make money investing here. 

appreciate all the advice and I'll be following up with some of you to pick your brains as we get more involved in the due diligence and underwriting of potential deals.One thing I should have mentioned is we have a couple of relationships with a few private investors (family, friends, etc.) who have expressed interest in providing the capital if we find a deal that pencils.Thanks for all the feedback so far everyone.

Hoping to pick up a property at auction here pretty soon.

I don't want him to come pick all the good stuff and leave me with a mountain of gargage.
