My financial criteria is straight out of Brandon Turner's BP webinars so I didn't come up with that.

When they quote you a fee that doesn't leave much wiggle room since it's pretty straight-forward that 12% (or whatever fee) of gross is calculable.So, a lot of prop mgrs will use maint as a profit center (ie charge you $75/hour and pay a guy $20/hour to do it).If that is an issue, if you've got long-term tenants, how about self-mgmt?

Look, I'm gonna give it to you straight, we flippers are natural born risk takers, there is no such thing as a "safe" flip, maybe in hindsight but not at onset, at start it's more like ballroom dancing in a minefield than anything else. 

That money saved is going straight into the "Save for Investments" account.

Check to see if you can study while out of state so when you get to Texas you can take the exam straight away ( so you have to time it accordingly) Plus if your husband is in the military check to see if his salary alone would be sufficient to buy your first property while you build up 2 yrs of tax returns.

Of course, you don't have to, if you have done your homework, then you can jump straight into the most micro level you want, or whatever you are saying.

Other than finding a straight up owner finance situation, I'm basically looking at bank statement loans (For those not familiar, basically basing income off of the cash flow you have in your bank accounts for approval process) or private money, unless I'm missing something even more clever!

Agent A contacted the sell side for four days straight but no reply.I then under a different name contacted the sell side agent/broker via Zillow and was able to get a video tour within a day.

The smell of them smoking on the porch is straight out of a cheech and Chong movie... it’s very potent.

Not that I am looking for some thing straight up turn key, i’m just not sure I’m ready to manage so much work from across the country.
