I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That' statement was bordering on ignorant.

Being really good on the phone will turn time wasters into people you cross off the list so that you can optimize your time!

Give them small assignments and if they don't do them cross their name off the list.

Take care, Dan By the way, with our type of buying, WE force up the value, we do not cross out fingers and wait for market appreciation.

Knowing what the BPO was submitted at gives you the edge to cross-reference that number with your best offer price.

From my understanding flipping short sales can be outsourced and therefore one could close deals cross country?

If all you're doing is painting walls, installing flooring, and new countertops, then you may nott really need all that management... or those guys may not be doing as much as they would otherwise be doing.However, when you cross over into really large projects where you've got multiple different trades in and out, lots and lots of material purchasing going on, a dozen different checks flying around at any given time, and above all else a house plan that needs to be translated into bricks and sticks correctly THE FIRST TIME, then having that much management becomes, IMO, essential.So to answer your question, I outsource my foreman and act as my own strategic manager.

I'll just keepmy fingers crossed.

It did cross my mind that I could use half or a little less of my current money in order to buy an apartment to help my long term goal and use whats left to continue to rehab and build my capital back up again, but I guess what bothered me is the fact that so much of my money is going to be tied up.
