And if someone's not responsible for something else, then that Ball can be dropped which can lead to further consequences.

Operations is a game of keeping a lot of balls in the air.

Very informative and gives an interesting look at investors' experience in this market.But courtesy first, my husband and I are "out"-out-of-state investors, looking for deals in NE and East of Downtown.For the past 3 months, we've been researching and submitting offers on properties to match the COMPS and rejected.Our budget is about $100K, stretching it to 120K for the right property + rehab.The problem is that we had to offer low-balls for the numbers to work, and then get rejected.It seems it's a narrow fit to BRRR, hence the cashflow is "on edge" here.Doesn't appreciation suppose to be the icing on the top?

Wholesalers have such a bad reputation because many just go on mls, low ball offers and try and wholesale a deal on the MLS, or will get a deal from another wholesaler and mark it up and the investor has seen it from the original wholesaler and 3 other daisy chains.Key is to find your own deals, analyze them, and know the numbers to assist in finding deals for others and make some money.

I know there's no crystal ball or magic bean but I've been reading all the great advice that gets posted here and as a newbie I am hoping I might be able to get some guidance.

Currently have a vacant SFH in Canton that I'm looking to rent out and I can't tell if my PM is just dropping the ball or if the City is making things harder to just get basic things done.The house was rehabbed and ready to go 3 weeks ago but the PM says they're still waiting on the "rental inspection" and can't officially list the property for rent until this is done. 

I don't like to act as if I have a crystal ball, so I don't know if waiting a year will be best or not.

I guess my question is whether or not he dropped the ball here. 

Gives the perspective on why it takes some balls to get into the new construction game.

We are looking for a new CPA, after many years with the same place, due to the ball being dropped too many times.
