books, plants, and weird things to pick up and look at (we have a skull collection in one unit, and a crystal collection in another).I have edited and hung up those national parks posters that I'm sure you've seen before.

If there are any liens on a property, it needs to be recorded with the county.Or like the west coast were the title searches are done in the phillipines  no one goes to the court house.. all title companies have remote title plants. 

I am new to the game too but I am have been finding some things that are at least planting some seeds and building relationships with people.Ive been going on Zillow in the area that I am focused on and looking at rentals available.

One unexpected thing that's popped up in my last 3 flips is having to texture some or all of the interior.  

1) Bought and managed my own new construction home project2) Negotiated the price of the house from $257,000 to $250,000, rearranged the interior of the home and selected the color scheme for the exterior of the house3) Shopped around for custom-made kitchen cabinets, carpet, hardwood floors, tiles, light fixtures, and appliances4) Installed the hardwood floors, tiles and bathtub surroundings, and painted the whole house all within a week5) Finished a room in a basement from scratch – framed it, sheetrock, door installation, walk-in closet, electrical, wall texture, painted, and hired the right people to finish the carpet and window seal installation - Total cost about $23006) Sold the house 22 months later for $285,000 and made a net profit of approximately $35,000.00 after escrow reimbursement, cashflow from rental income, interest on property tax return and amortization.Great experience and good return on my $13,000 initial investment. 

Just south of us over the GA border, Commerce GA is cleared for its US based plant to build EV batteries (SK Group, largest Korean battery company for Li-ion's). 

Amazon is opening a new distribution center, the Air Force Base is expanding bringing in more jobs and the service members family members, there's even talks of Boeing opening a manufacturing plant here. 

I see it as planting a money tree and I pick hundred dollar bills off it every month but still have the value of the tree plus any appreciation.

Even if you don't, it still gives the texture of individual tiles. 

I'd go a touch further and plant walkie talkies in the air vents, then have some weird, quiet noises on a timer to enhance the experience.
