But if we’re willing to make the investment – not as a loss – but at an initial zero-sum gain then I feel its worthwhile to consider.

I understand I will need liquid cash for repairs and such, but the bigger question is should I go where the properties are cheaper so my "risk" is less, or should I continue to wait until I have a much large amount of cash saved?

and then sell the house since we need a bigger house because we have 4 kids and the house only has 3 rooms any advice?

they are usually paid for performance.. but some bigger outfits actually bring them in as employees with bonuss'everyone has to eat and pay for gas.

Bigger Pockets :) How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

This is a much bigger problem than the pipes or the water.

Apparently Bigger Pockets doesn't let me put "ZERO" for Cash Invested...

The owner/company on title owes me additional money so I may need to use it for leverage to collect on the bigger amount.
