My first year is coming to and end and I plan to sit down and develop a business plan for 2016 and beyond and really lay out my marketing efforts and then implement the plan. 

The winning characteristics are that they have stable work, are beyond the age of wild parties, have a long-term (3-7 years) local commitment BUT they do not plan on living in Lincoln forever.That last point may seem counter-intuitive, but because they do not want to live in Lincoln forever, they are unlikely to buy a home and move out of the unit.

On our first flip we must have had the same kitchen layout priced at 15 different places on Washington Ave, and Quality's came out as the best value.

With that, you can then lay out a proposed minor subdivision.Read the description, a rectangular or square shape can be divided by reading the legal and simply subtract the area needing to be cut off for the new legal.

Finally, the historical, theoretical, and intuitive strengths of each model are examined.

Lot size/layout -We have some funky lot layouts, and there are some lots (like my own) that have huge easements.

You may need to make adjustments to comps and rely on the intuition of those who know the market well, but it IS possible to determine a reasonably accurate ARV.If #2 is true, you are most likely trying to flip houses for which there is little buyer demand.  

You need to lay out your policies and stick with them.

It may be her intuition that is guiding her and not emotions.

I should add that we did a complete rehab as well (new kitchen/granite, bathrooms, windows, rebuilt walls and reconfigured layout on 2nd floor w/ all permits pulled).
