Finally decided to introduce myself.

When I finally really escaped, after making the mistake of going back there after the military, I had a few tag sales and sold every non-essential I owned.

These are the numbers the "finder" is giving me:Investor price: $105KRepairs: $30,000ARV: $165K4/2 rents: $900/motwo 2/1's rents: $600/mo eachWhat seems fishy to me, the finder is asking for 1% of the final sales price I make with the seller.

When a vacancy occurs, they do the tenant screening, but I can choose to review and have final say on any applicant that meets their approval before the lease is signed, so asking for that might solve your problem of wanting a say in who ends up in your home.

I recently read through as many posts on BP as I could regarding raising a small amount of money to use for my acquisitions.

In any event, to answer your question, it's not finalized until you have a signed lease and all money due has been paid.

. - If you do get one flip where the profit was $500 per hour simply because you spent less time, but the net profit was say $20k, unless you can consistently replicate that every single work week hour, it does not matter.I have spent only 2 months (includes time from acquisition date to sold date) on a flip and made $35k, but have spent 6 months and made $220k.

Be sure to ask for lien waivers from your subcontractors prior to final payment.

Cash Flow - "Do NOTHING & Money Comes In"Now... regardless which option you pick.If you look at "investing" as a business... you'll focus on "customer acquisition" aka the "sale".

Going to the original builder for a potential sale or information was something I was going to do once things from my end are finalized.
