This one was remediated extremely well, and we are hopeful.....

There are a few decent agents here on biggerpockets.Some work in Class D- ( high crime ) and extremely old area properties.I personally only look to work with clients who are: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ready, Willing, Able, and Most importantly RealisticGood luck with your investing.

But this business of "you don't need money or good credit" to become an investor is extremely elusive.

Usually a fair deal comes about at the point where neither party is extremely pleased but each party is satisfied. 

I asked a question - a question which, by the way, gave you the opportunity to preempt a possibly incorrect course of action - and you lost your cool.You seem extremely angry, Bill. 

Thanks for the great info, you've been extremely helpful and kind with your knowledge!

I think I'm going to have an extremely difficult time finding a property that can be turned into a buy and hold rental in the Denver metro area (where I want to live).Pros of this strategy - I get experience in the requisite types of construction that will help me out when estimating repair costs in future investments AND I won't have to settle for a property that almost certainly won't meet the "2% rule" (or likely even a 1% rule).Cone - This is no longer a passive investment.What do you guys think?  

I am extremely excited to announce that I have completed and passed the Real estate Exams for the State of Arizona and now a Licensed Real Estate agent. 

My investor does not shy from the price at all, he calls me 3 times a week asking for high price deals, I got extremely lucky this week with 2 calls for houses over a million dollars.

That would give you a cash flow of around $4,000 on the extreme low end of each to $9,000 on a high end on each.
