I thought it would be fun to start a thread where we can share our craziest fix-and-flip stories, biggest "oops" moments, and the golden nuggets of wisdom we've picked up along the way.

Please share your thought and experience. 

Quote from @Tom Nagy: Thanks for sharing.

For a moment, it seemed like the “lock-in effect” might ease up.

I’ve contacted NicklinPM and Key Properties at the moment .

I'm doing flips and new construction at the moment. 

Syracuse is definitely experiencing a lot of hype at the moment because of Micron, and we're seeing lots of renovated options on the market in areas that likely won't benefit from the new campus.

Pricing in DFW probably means you wont live rent free,and will have to pay your fair share of normal rent, but you also get 3 more people contributing to your loan paydown and you get to keep the appreciation.Buy hey...maybe I'm wrong....go talk to a local bank or credit union near where you live and get a term sheet from them for financing. 

@Jay Hinrichs - mind sharing the turnkey operators you might recommend?  

We're now up to $1,900/mo and the current tenant wanted to sign a full year lease so it's a furnished long term rental for the moment.
