They had equity in a rental and wanted to try their hand at flipping.

This is hands down the best and easiest way to get started.

I've largely stayed away from the "sub-to" buz word, but I have done a couple sub-to flips knowing that I only needed to hold onto them a couple months and I was prepared to pay off the notes if they were called.Sub-to for long-term hold on the other hand has me nervous. 

I’d definitely want feedback after the showings, as you’d get first-hand information from prospective renters.

It’s not about chaining yourself to a rigid model; it’s about giving yourself a reliable starting point, so when the next tempting deal in Phoenix’s midtown corridor pops up, you know it fits into your broader strategy rather than just hoping it’ll magically work out.At the end of the day, nobody’s going to knock on your door and hand you a neatly packaged portfolio.

With $100,000 cash in hand, the property will be more like in the 400K price point if he were to put 20% down, leaving 20K for closing cost and emergency $.At the current interest rate and RE market is it possible to make 1K after monthly payment? 

Comparing this to oil or timber rights is comparing apples to hand grenades. 

Appreciation on the other hand is the biggest piece of the real estate pie.

Since your a hands on person and have contractor contacts.  

Hey EvanI prefer hands off but I know that 2 heads are better than one.
