Coordinating contractors and maintaining project timelines were key hurdles.

The key here is to have a plan to pay that loan back.I did this by utilizing the typical BRRRR method on homes in Detroit.

They turned in keys and left no forwarding address.

Key question: what does off-line mean?

What key skills should I focus on developing over the next three years?

When margins get smaller and smaller it's almost better to buy and hold with some equity built in versus the large costs of a rehab and sale.The key with flips is looking at move up homes.

The key is consistency over time.

It's not unusual to see 3/1 and 4/1 Section 8 properties but that single bathroom would not do well as an MTR.Overall, I'd say location and the shape of the property is going to be your key driver and the factors that will make or break you in the MTR space so very carefully evaluate both before you make your decision. 

If you don't hear from them before Aug 1 (ie July 31 when they should contact you to ask for keys), check if utilities were put in their name and if not, then Aug 2, tell them that you are re-listing it and the lease is null and void.

But the lease is your key question.
