I'm not interested in the easy to get, thus everyone can get lists like out of state AO lists.

@Jim Meloche, we just paid them a % o the profits.

@Kino ElliottMake sure your AOS has contingencies on building, termite, radon, and there are some others.  

If the buy and hold doesn't get to that 1% level, is cash flowing a property then unrealistic?

No amount of drywall mud or paint will correct walls that aren't framed straight, square and  level. I

Depends on your comfort level I would recommend at least 10,000+ for starters and depending on projected growth, jobs, colleges, etc.

For example, once you find a buyer it takes as much as 60 days from the point the AOS is signed to get to the closing table with an approved buyer then as much as a day to get the wire in your account.

One thing the scammers in my AO will do is have you sign a contract before the adjustment is done.
