Yes...we're painfully aware of the permitting challenges.

When ever I have a problem tenant, I try and remember when their lease come due (pain will go away), I won't make that mistake again (learn from experience-better to learn from others' pain here on BP though) and I smile each month as I see the mortgage balance go down thanks to their rent check.

I have found that AO's need to be about 3 hours from the house before it becomes too big of a "pain in the butt" to them.So if you live in California or Texas you would probably include some of those in state AO's.

But more pain = more gain. :)

Mixed bag so far.I flipped one house for about a 40K profit in 4 months.Then lost about 5K on another flip over 15 long and painful months.I am buying notes now instead.Hopefully less of a headache.

It was inder contract at full price in 30 days, HOWEVER, the buyer did ask for changes that were a pain , but I charged them for one item that I made them pay in advance, on the other was a non refundable added to Earnest money.
