We wanted to seek advice and recommendations on the following list:1.

If you're looking to flip, you need to start looking at kitchens from sold properties in the same neighborhood or price point...if they all have laminate counter tops, don't install granite.My take is to always assume an initial cash outlay to push future maintenance...like higher end finishes and appliances on the bet that they won't have issues for 10+ years.

Are you trying to get listings in a neighborhood, do monthly follow-up to previous clients and sphere, etc.?

As an OOS investor looking into CLE, I'll be following this thread. 

I do have a bit of rehab experience, but it’s been about 10 years since I’ve had any real hands-on.So finally, to my question:Armed with this little knowledge, should I:A)Buy something quick after analyzing deals 24/7 over the next few weeksB)Wait for now, learn more and keep renting (effectively pushing back REI due to a 12-month lease)My biggest concern is the fact that if I push back the ACTION portion for a whole year, I may lose the enthusiasm and momentum that I’m so excited about.

Hello all,As I ponder lease optioning my primary residence, I'm weighing all risks as I see them and I was hoping to get some help understanding how to think about, deal with, and plan for the following scenarios.1.  

@Kwok SuI don't know your market but assuming you follow all applicable laws I would raise the rent as soon as you can. 

They did not reply and push the responsibilities to the insurance company which is not stated in the agreement.

If you are paying for an attorney, I would follow his advice.I didn't know you were just ranting and not asking for opinions/advice.
