@Matthew Groves I think you might be looking at this question from a scarcity approach rather than an abundance.

I've run a kitchen for years. 70 - 80 hour weeks regularly that are physically and mentally (most kitchen employees are not the most functional adults, it's partly a babysitting job) exhausting.

If you have water heaters exhausting up interior chimneys then be aware of possible leakage.Recognize that every job which you have to do has the potential to spiral into others- I have found a number of patchwork jobs when we went to do work that necessitated doing more work than anticipated. 

If you have exhausted the friends and family list, next step would be to find brokers active in the market and property type. 

Here is why - flipping is a job more than an investment; it has been hyped up by TV-shows, but the reality is a lot more sober.

My father owns a business which is he getting ready to retire from, we own the property also which is a little less than an acre.

You will do a better job than an agent will.

I like the “cash for keys” idea as it’s faster and less costly than an eviction.  

I just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, and I’m more motivated than an ever to make my first purchase.

Me, personally, I'd rather pay for only what I actually get, and I'd like to see who I hire get paid for what they do - no extra money, and no losses.Does line 5 (exhaust hood) include the hood itself?
