Who do you think takes the gravy in these transactions? 

Get prequalified with them today so you are ready to roll when you find the next deal.If you want meat on the bone, do your own prospecting and don't depend on wholesalers to drop a deal on you. 

It might be payment notices are going to a different address and it is simply overlooked. 

Don’t forget to network and educate yourself through podcasts and local real estate groups.

Let's say there's 3 properties in a 1-mile radius with 5b/3b, but one is a foreclosure and the other 2 are regular conventional sales.If you're doing a comp for your subject (4th) property, do you have to take the foreclosure one into consideration?

So this is mostly in reference to us doing our own repairs, not necessarily looking to hire other people.

It's a range and depends on the property type, location, end condition and rental strategy. 

It's great that you're focused on saving and educating yourself before diving into real estate.

It is nice of the state to mandate that flippers do this.  

You are doing well for yourself!
