Since we do not want to make repairs and hold onto this house anymore. 

We were after a very specific product within a tight radius, so we were able to mail almost all the houses that met our criteria without breaking the bank.

I've bid on a house on Hubzu and was the highest bidder when the auction ended.

Start by doing a house hack when you can qualify.

Overall the house is in livable condition but I want to add some value to it and keep it not just flip it. 

The age of our housing stock and the capex that comes with it should also not be ignored.

HUD recently accepted my offer on a single-family house, and my bid price is 25% less than the market value, making it a great deal.

Ideally, you'll find a wholesaler you can really work with who will involve you before they get the house under contract so that the contracted price works for everyone, including the seller.

I cleared $10k on my first one.We ended up clearing $30k on the second one.The last flip was very stressful for my wife and she wants to keep our finances (HELOC) out of the next one.I am going to look to find a financing partner to cover the carrying costs of the next flip.On a $400k house (average for my area), the total investment would be $85-$95k and would be paid directly to the lender and subs/suppliers, not to me.I can bring the lender, as I have a good rep with the one I use.I will do all the rest.
