This will be a major deal one way or another, either your time and effort being there doing a lot of sweat equity (which is fine if you want to do it that way) or a lot of money having others perform all the tasks required here.Somebody said the cost per door at 37.5 sounded high, I agree.

To the newbies and also to the seasoned veterans alike, The smallest effort can yield the largest results.

IMHO - I would buy a $20k-$30k REO  built after 1945 and fix it up to rent ready status and then offer it as a turn key or rent ready property to a fellow BP member and list it on the MLS.Even if you break even, the education you get is well worth the effort and you will be so far ahead of the average new investor.I hope that helps!

I appreciate your efforts to help me build myself into this community!

I would recommend you get a license as well, it is not overly difficult, but it does take time, effort, and money.Graham

Why are you investing effort in this one with a couple of strikes against it from the get go?

I've considered doing exactly what you are suggesting but haven't made any effort to actually do it.
