I feel like this is just a post made to ignite an argument. 90% of it is so incorrect that I'm just going to assume you are a troll and not waste time addressing any point you've attempted at making.

As an investor would you want an easy flip and high profit or hard flip with minimal profit ( commission )??

These are including (but not limited to):Exterminator / Pest control: $37 monthlyWater softener maintenance: $10-35 monthlySeptic waste removal: $250 every other year.There are a couple other minor expenses, but none that would affect my bottom line.

It was pretty much time wasted.

A good finance attorney can well be in 5 digits an hour, what we speak of here is pretty elementary and I've obtained good advice on the phone, but then, you need to have your ducks in a row and not waste their time, too. :)

There are minimal repairs.

@Lindsey Turner  Have you vetted them to make sure they are real... remember there are many fraudsters out there that get off wasting agents time and efforts.Now if they have proofed up then you know you have something to work with..

Diversifying your portfolio is a great strategy to minimize your risk.

Sellers do not want to waste time, brokers do not want to waste time.The best thing the poster might want to do is go work for a highly successful investment firm already.

If you want to flip properties, find one that works with flippers and can ballpark a renovation project before bringing you to see the property so you aren't wasting your time.
