@Kyle H, one thing I've learned after 25 years of buying hundreds of houses at foreclosure auctions is that there are no shortcuts.

No, I was thinking of emailing a few hundred "We Buy Houses" businesses & real estate agents with my custom real estate designs like these.

Plus i can afford to throw a hundred dollars or so their way in show of good faith. 

As a birddogger you'll make a couple of hundred bucks, maybe $500 tops, IF the person you're birddogging for actually closes on a property you bring to their attention.If, in the course of your daily activities, you happen to come across a property that you think may be of interest to an investor, that's one thing.

(Room size 12 x 12)-Bathroom is pretty simple, ( ceiling only 6 x10) 2-4 hours ($60-$120)-Kitchen ( room size 14 x16)-Drop ceiling 6-10 hours 2 gallons $50-Walls 3-6 hours 1 gallon $40-cabinets 30-40 hours 2 gallons $100-kitchen 39-56 hours ($1,170-$1,680)Materials around $200I'll estimate 75-110 hours ($2,250-$3,300)And materials at around $700So remember I can do as much or as little repair as you want me to do.

I think you are also going to be very hard pressed to turn $100,000 into $60,000 a year, because that's what $5000 a month in cash flow is.In order to possibly do this you have to leverage that hundred thousand dollars several fold and your interest rate would have to be close to zero.An alternative might be to purchase a dilapidated multifamily property or apartment building, fix it up and increase rents and then do some kind of long-term refinance.

However, I answered hundreds of questions here on forum over the last several years and as a member of BP community you are welcome to take advantage of BiggerPockets platform to ask your question and get a free answer not only from me buy from other experts as well. 

Many Americans could save hundreds of thousands of dollars by following index funds.

I'm curious to how you are doing on your hundred unit goal? 

I think its worth a few hundred dollars to have them do it for me.
