The cost is way different and I need to get back up to speed before trying too step in.

I could purchase for roughy 35k and would need to spend another 20 - 30k getting it up to speed.  

I know that due to a speeding ticket from last Thanksgiving that the board would have to give special consideration in order to approve.

Its one speed rope away from doubling my insurance premiums.

My recommendation is to speed up the renovation on your primary residence and then sell it, cashing in on all that equity.

I need to learn to be the boss :crying: stop doing everything myownself, learn ways of paying less, speed things up to increase profit and minimize holding costs, learn better ways of leveraging and overall, just learn to think BIGGER~ Break out of that comfort zone and move forward.

I know it's your first flip, but speed, quality, price are the keys in order of success imo.

A non contested foreclosure would of course speed things up.

Then again, I'm not crunching numbers on a dozen deals a day so speed doesn't matter much.
