I’ve flipped a few houses and talked to a few investors and this is one of the biggest horror stories I’ve seen working with contractors.

The biggest drop in value is when you drive a new car off the lot.

The biggest thing you can do is build your CORE 4 which consists of getting a great realtor, contractor, property manger, and attorney wherever you choose to start investing.Let me know how I can help you get going

Biggest thing here is they wants a house big enough for 2 separate living areas and house cannot have more than just a few steps to entrance and hopefully rear entry/etc.

One of the biggest mistakes is to focus on solely cash flow and achieving a BRRRR.

That's how I've done it in the past. i try to offer a base salary with incentives uncapped.

They have every incentive to make sure construction is up to standard since they will receive 5-6% (to be split with buyer's agent depending on state) of the sale price in commission.

The no cash component will be your biggest hurdle. 

My biggest tip is to save way more that you make and then buy a 2-4 unit building and use a 203k or homestyle renovation loan to do some rehab and add some instant equity.Also, Network as much as possible and get comfortable approach any one and asking lots of questions. 

Your biggest variable is going to be prop tax, and it changes from street to street.
