It just seems so much more efficient, a lot easier to organize, and I love that you can put an automatic voicemail saving 30 seconds per call.Due to a lawsuit that happened many years ago for a DNC from a different brokerage, my broker said we’re not allowed to use dialers.

As long it doesn't have foundation issues and I can pick it up for a decent price I can add value to get it up to that 110-125 per sq ft price range...automatic equity. 

For $0 you can do the same thing with Google Voice, and it transcribes all my voicemails and emails them to me automatically.

My goal is to achieve at least a 25% cash on cash return on flips over a 6-month period or in the worst case convert the purchase into a buy and hold investment to earn at least a 10% annual cash on cash ROI after taxes.For me cash is king and I want to grow my cash as quickly as possible while managing and shifting risk.

The biggest lesson learned is that when the market shifts, you lose when you sell below your purchase price.

Just because she has drama in her life doesn't shift the cost to you.

Another thing that's really annoying with Zillow is they seem to have a problem with properties not bought and sold via MLS.With MLS sold properties they seem to be able to carry most of the information correctly.But with private sale they do not have info on them and if you claim it as your property and edit the details, features, uploaded photos, in about a month or so this information will be erased automatically. 

And/or shift to short-term rentals if possible?

A property that has a cesspool is an automatic Title 5 fail. 

Do you automatically regain ownership of a foreclosed property if your HELOC is forgiven.
