Jan 15th came weather was not ideal mid January in Pittsburgh..

That means that ideally, you want to acquire your rehab in early spring and have it on the market in June/July. 

As you said, $200 per door is ideal but probably not as realistic in this real estate environment.

Just as landlords like to rent to the ideal tenant, bankers like to lend money to the ideal borrower.I've found it useful to learn the system and use it to my advantage for accomplishing what I want to do (build wealth) rather than fight the system and face an uphill battle.

Is it a good idea to have her submit the offer for me or should I deal directly with the listing agent which showed me the house?

For someone aspiring to become their own boss and looking to run an INDEPENDENT business where that business can borrow as needed from a lender, what entity structure is ideal?

My primary interest here on BP is that of becoming a flipper/rehabber; I love the idea of taking something less ideal and making it beautiful for a family to live in and make great memories there.

Ideally I would like to invest in the area I live, the city of Philadelphia Or anywhere in the Tri-State area (PA,NJ,DE).

To fill the gaps between new builds for our own account we are looking to do work for others.We are not well suited to the large volume / low return type of work (flip contractor, small remodels, etc.) but have the ideal setup and experience for new home construction, custom homes, small commercial and multi-family, and major remodels. 

I would like to get into multi-family ... finding a nice deal on a 4 plex that cashflows nicely would be ideal.
