Treat this property as a business and factor in all the associated expenses, including mortgage payments (if you pull a loan), maintenance, and potential vacancy periods.To simplify management and make this less of a hands-on job, I’d strongly recommend working with a property management company.

As title says, looking for some first hand experience, positive or negative; for working with mynd.co.

The property offered a balanced investment opportunity—enough to significantly enhance its value through renovations, yet manageable in scope and cost.

We value the opportunity to work with clients and partners in the real estate community.To address @David Ramirez' suggestion, if any title issues are found, the earnest money is fully refundable.

This journey that we're all on can be lonely, especially when it comes to balancing W2 jobs, kiddos and real estate investing. 

You can also take a car ride and travel to Dallas, Houston or Austin.I think NYC is a good city if you want to work and make a lot of money. 

Balancing that with wanting to do something to maintain affordable housing for those in mid to lower income brackets.

However, the MLS in San Diego as well as the appraisers I've worked with do.You'll definitely want to check to see how the topic is addressed in the particular locale the property is in. 

But ultimately the responsibility lies in my hands.I jumped on a seesaw of risk hoping that the momentum would catapult my bank account into six figures only to find out the hard way that flipping houses isn’t as easy as I had predicted.This house was purchased for $64,000 with an expected rehab of $100k to $120k depending on how much work the dilapidated and neglected house needed.The midwest is lovely but the houses carry the weight of weather storms nearly a century old leading to more damage than a beginning investor could expect.The appraisal came in at $225k for my lender meaning our all-in cost would be around 85% of the sales price worst case.
