Considering how much I enjoy meeting new people and communicating, the STR approach has been successful and enjoyable Now we are pursuing our second investment property and are considering a property which needs some TLC and has large value added potential, considering that its in a prime location on the oceanfront.

I think people would enjoy it with other amenities.

I'll add some data:1) If you were calling the phone book (lowest converting list imaginable), you will find a potential homeseller by talking to 20-30 people.

you've come to the right place - lots of great people and resources here

The steps to flipping is fairly straightforward, executing and the logistics is where a lot of people fail. 

It's great in terms of location, but the main issue that I have is that there is no public trashcan for the bus stop.This means that people are constantly littering around my property, and I am forced to pick up all of their trash.

You need to build a great team of people. 

You will likely receive some credit towards the value but not as much as most people think. 

I believe that you need to teach people how to treat you and I already made the mistake of texting with them initially and now am paying the price by having to respond to texts via email.

You can meet flippers at meetups or try to obtain a list of people who have purchased houses for cash in your markets, then call them and see if they are interested in more.
