Action steps for me in your position would be; 1. add a profile picture 2. make my account a pro account for credibility and ability to market in the marketplace 3. post on bigger pockets 25 times a day for a month straight 4. check out my house deals . com 5. start going to real estate meetings from meet up . com 

The bigger question is how much do you have in reserves to cover yourself should you find yourself in a downturn - which leads to another critical question regarding cash flow.  

Everything looks great in pictures, the reality is often disappointing.

Review my profile summary and get a picture of who I am.

I haven't decided if I am going to try to refinish the floor myself or not..The bathroom floor is particleboard and rotted out, so Ill replace the subfloor myself and plan on it taking two days.I am currently getting firm roofing quotes from 3 contractors that I have used in the past.I am ordering windows tomorrow and plan to install them myself when they get in.Ill try to update with pictures and details as I progress!

(Not by using Google maps because they can easily be outdated pictures) There should be some.

There were no recent comps, though the neighbors property 2 doors down sold for $290,000.00, in August 2013, so I knew we were on to something.We picked up the note for $9,850.00, and covered the past due taxes of $4,479.90 to keep it from being lost.

If the roof is in working order they have no legal reason for not covering the roof.  

If the cracking is simply along grout lines and there are no raised edges, you could probably cover it with the vinyl (it will be hard underfoot).  

It will also cover most of the closing cost if the deal falls through and I need to dump the property, preferable to a wholesaler where I can avoid real estate costs.
