I found BP yesterday and I must say that it's impressive to see some of the success stories that I've come across in the many posts I've spent reading in the past 24 hours.

Thanks for helping me think out of the box a bit.

I decided to move over to PLG because of the unpermitted work, wiring without junction boxes, lack of insulation and a whole host of shoddy quick flips. 

Ok off the soap box now.

For me the first thing I needed to change was my spending habits, and control and understand exactly where every dollar I spent went.

I have spent the last few months looking at expensive programs, watching everything I could on you-tube, reading and finally finding BP.

Pros - they may appreciate your resourcefulness and be intrigued by your willingness to think outside the box, or they MAY not realize how hard to find they are with respect to those properties, or you just might catch them at right time - they've been thinking about unloading the properties for a while and you've given them a viable exit no matter how annoyed they are about where you reached out to them  I'm not aware of any rules/laws prohibiting you from doing so, maybe somebody else can speak to that if there are some restrictions you should be aware of. 

Michael B.Those figures don't look bad for a first flip, especially considering the amount of time you spent on it.

@Andy Audate, Yes I would like to do buy and hold and make this a part time job but not a lot of hours spent each week, so I think buy and hold with a property manager makes sense for me.

Otherwise you can get a loan based on what you spent Yes, reserves is 3 months of PITI paymentsI have a 4 unit and duplex on the same lot and that is my average water bill.
