After getting the price down to $290k i decided to leave it one unit as was still able to cash flow with less capital needed How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

With Desoto County and the entire Memphis Metro Market only being about 2-2.5 hours up Highway 55 I think you could have the opportunity to find a lot of success in the market.

I am hoping to find an opportunity to help an established Investor with any administrative tasks, social media, or marketing in exchange for a chance to learn.

Quote from @Patricio Acosta: Question for experienced flippers: Where do you find your deals?

I purchased it with a HELOC so higher interest debt until I can cash out refi.

Connecting with knowledgeable local contacts like wholesalers and realtors will definitely help in finding deals that make sense in this market.

Many investors see no "hard line" on age as long as there’s strong cash flow and maintenance is manageable, but ensuring you’re prepared for any age-related quirks is essential.

I also understand you can charge them a certain amount as a penalty....1 month rent to cover the downtime for finding a new tenant. 

Looking to have some repairs done and need to find local contractors that I could hopefully build long term relationship with.

You will find many resource here that are more than willing to help you out with just about anything.I am a broker on the lending side of things and have a fairly solid presence in TX.
