Due diligence in the financials is what is your North Star.

@Scott ONeill, was that Co-Star for $395/mo?

One website had 5 stars while another had one star.

I am tired of starring good opportunities in the face and not being able to jump on them!

There is such thing as over leveraging, but if all of the stars align in  your favor, you will have out smarted a multi-billion dollar industry.

If you want anything done right you are going to pay out the kisser because its that time in the cycle that everyone thinks they are an HGTV super star.

Income, credit, background, etc.There is money to be made, but be careful...There are "book values" out there, but they are not of much use.What is the value of a home in a 5 star community in California, is not the same as a home in a trailer park next to the city dump in the inner city slums.Book value doesn't consider these factors.Rob

I would plan for a year of hard work to really start to see the stars align.

There is a company in KC called five star wholesale that does what you're describing.
