If you don’t want to take the time to learn the number inside and out and you only want  to make money by flipping then you can partner with a flipper and or be the financial partner who still make good money.  

Not knowing your personal financial situation, I would go for a buy and hold or owner financing.

Turnkey properties don’t make any sense financially, there’s very minimal returns.

I'll be speaking with them soon to understand the financials and confirm their goals with the sale...which previously was to get rid of the property and any ties to each other.As time has passed, their stance on solutions that they would accept to help solve their problem potentially has changed.

That wiped out a lot of wealth after 2008 and we are pretty close to the end of this financial cycle.I've heard real estate attorneys mirror @Mike S.'

If you are a surgeon making $200,000 a year then you can probably pay most major expenses out of your monthly income.Everyone's financial situation and risk level is different.

I find deals all the time that I would love to do myself, but financially I just cant swing them and I get excited to pass those opportunities onto my other investors who will happily take the projects on, and in turn, I get a happy investor....win/win.My advise....find an agent that is doing what you want to do. 

They'll likely go up, but to avoid mass financial shock to the older population, they'll go up slowly.

No annual requirements on audits or reviews of financials (save money from hiring CPA consultants).

Think about what your goals are is it financially sound decision?
