I was turned on to real estate investing, specifically flipping houses, because it seemed to fulfill all my requirements for a new career as my own boss.

@Brian Gibbons Great post.Below is what motivates me.Myles Munroe was using the below story in talking about people taking action and pursuing their dreams and goals because only they have the ability to fulfill what they have been given.Myles Munroe said in a sermon that it is everyones wish to be surrounded by our loved ones when we are lying on our death bed.

I will also personally make sure that the 'live in property manager' fulfills those responsibilities religiously and gratefully.

I'm very new to the flip world and looking to fulfill my passion. 

:Am about to bid on a project larger than my capacity, If I'm interpreting this correctly it sounds like this project is a bit of a stretch for your current bandwidth, if not beyond the ability of your current organization.As an owner, and with my experience with GC's, if a project is larger than what they can handle I would hope there would be a professional courtesy to simply bow out and say you're not able to fulfill the requirements of the project and give it to another group who can do the job to the specs within the budget and allotted time. 

Every fulfillment company I have contacted can't get this data to provide a list to mail to.

It is one of my closest friends real estate company, but it is not fulfilling my urge to get in to real estate.

If we cannot fulfill our end of the contract (which hasn't happened yet) we refund the 100 and any additional security deposit immediately.

I look at it as, I'll live in 1 unit and do the rehab, fulfill the FHA requirement, then lease it out at market rate. 

It's a bit of land with improvements that fulfills the basic human need (Maslows Hierarchy of Needs), shelter.
