Rodney and Charles,Good credit helps – no bones about.

I like to make sure the bones of a property are solid.

Only worth the risk if meat is still on the bone.

It just doesn’t have the “bones” and would require a major facelift.

The MLS is being picked bone dry by a massive influx of investors(new and more experience)as well as the hedge funds out there.The old fashion ways to find properties are starting to become more viable in the current RE markets.

I just want to be clear that its not for everyone you have to stick to the plan and work yourself to the bone to make sure you don't prove the guy right above about "most people failing". ;) Good luck my friend if you need anything reach out.

@Brad Bone welcome to the BP community!

@Justin Trudell , if you have never been a landlord before you need to really bone up on the landlord tenant law in MA.

@Andre Q.Did you accomplish any repairs to the "bones" of the house (plumbing, electrical, structural, etc.), or was this a generally cosmetic rehab project?

Way too little meat on the bone for a flip.
