Hi @Kyle Stone...Welcome to Vegas; BP; & the investing game! 

seems to me the satellite citys maybe better play for landlording.Flipping Is UBER competitive..

I bit usual layout as its set back from the street with its own access lane and backs to a large apartment building and has taller wood fencing, but the owner has lived there for 12 years and is 73 now and tired of playing landlord with his neighbors/tenants - he has the usual tenant adventures going on right now, such as an eviction and probably isn't a thorough tenant screener. 

I make more coffee and breakfast and sit outside and read at least 10 pages of water ever book I currently reading.After that, I begin to answer email while making any calls I need to make.I then work on my blog or explore BP and answer any forum questions I can.Pick up a little around the house and play with the dog and then I am off to work for the day. 

Not deal breakers.I'm currently an active retail mortgage originator, amongst a couple other things, but Its been my experience that working as a wholesale account executive from 2000 until 2016 and being on the backside of literally thousands of loan closings since the inception of the newest regulations that I can recall only one instance of a set back caused by cents on a transaction, but that was early on in the Dodd/Frank era and was the result of software, that was subsequently fixed by an addition 3 day waiting period, because that was the safest play for the lenders ***.The take away here, again just in my opinion, is on the front side of the transaction, write the offer at whatever it takes to get the contract done, then hand it off to your favorite lender...they'll figure it out. :)

I played around with some of the ways of looking at value in the Introduction to Real Estate Analysis article by J Scott, but whenever I think of an offer I get worried I am either insulting him or giving away all my hard work (3 years of time assembling lots and getting it through city approvals, and serving as an uncompensated GC for net zero energy certification and most of the site work).

It took me a little over 30 days to receive both certificates.Upon receiving the certificates I had to visit the Jefferson County Tax Assessors office so that the county could update the records.The entire process took approximately two months.What's Next:Now the waiting game.

I am newish to the real estate game in Baltimore.

I was just wondering what banks would think of my controlling the day-to-day of the property and a parter only being passively involved past the mortgage signature with no real skin in the game.

A whopping 4 years after being introduced to BP, I decided I needed to stop making excuses and jump into the real estate game.
