As a new note flipper and new note investor, I've gotten my 1st note flip deal under contract yesterday w/ my note buying instructor & mentor Donna Bauer that is secured by a property in TX.

Much will depend on the price of the property, for sub $100k I’d expect to pay something extra. 

Can they prove how long it takes to rent a vacant property?

Whether it be driving you around, going to propertys to take pictures, or even following up with owners to close or continue a deal.

We own and self manage three rental properties.

I currently own a SFR in Houston which is managed by a property management company.

The property should be clean, functional, and safe.A well-maintained property attracts higher-quality renters that will pay more, stay longer, and take better care of the home.

Depends on the class of property. 

The buyer maintains the property and pays the mortgage.

I would like to do a combination of both flips and rentals depending on what makes the most sense for the property location and needs.
