We put about $50,000 into rehab to ensure that we would hit the top of that particular market.  

Property is in Northern, VA.

Im in the market for a new attorney in Northern CA.

I just want you to be more specific so when you hit your goal its the right one. 

With the amount of money floating around now, it would be hard to toss a rock into any of these and not hit a legitimate lender with whom you can have a real conversation.

I hope you hit it.

Last year I spent close to $40K to replace the windows and the siding (I have one year to pay off before getting hit with a big interest rate; planning to do a cash refinance and pay the $40k that way) but now, I've decided to move to TX.

Saw a report that was projecting much higher vacancies in Austin next couple years due to a number of large projects hitting the market end of this year and next year.  

This is the first time I have attempted a flip and I really don't want to pay that huge tax hit. 

I just cringe when investors think they can read a book and implement this stuff in these asset class's.. we all get hit. .stuff stolen.. it sucks. but if you want hi returns your going to take these risks
