I think this could be a house hack that we repeat a couple of times using the FHA loan system and then branch out into other RE investments.The issue though (there is always one) is that our house is worth about $205k and we owe $170k... the fees to sell will eat away a chunk of that if we even get asking price.

This contingency will eat up some of your total rehab allowance.  

The numbers worked so I did it....now 7 months later...still not on the market I echo what I have read hundreds of times on here about your first flip, something always happens and eats up money.

You can certainly find deals in Bridgeport, but it's worthwhile to note that the taxes are high (42+ mill rate) and could eat into a chunk of your cashflow.

The closing cost and fee's will eat up that profit very fast. 

I think the prices are still to high here, and they can eat away a lot of your c/f.

The worst kind of agent is the one who needs every deal to close so that they can eat that day.

Charge now or wait until move-out, or eat the cost?

You can keep an eye out for the "deal of the century" but do not let it eat up all your time.      

Hey Tom,Acid isn't really a great idea anyway, you're more eating away the stone that is dirty than cleaning it.
