It also returns significantly more money while you wait for the next deal (with the risk of the value of your holdings decreasing when you need it).Feel free to message me if you have any questions.  

Are you just looking to flip houses or buy and hold investment properties?

I “thought” they would come back and get the second in the next few days.Unfortunately four weeks went by and despite certified letters and phone calls to the previous owners from the realtor, it was never removed.Ultimately I paid a guy $275 to make it disappear.Obviously, I have not been happy having to deal with this problem for the last month and the fact that I had to pay for its removal is maddening.Especially since I feel that both realty companies, the previous owner and the contractor all walked away with my money and I was left holding this bag.In the future I will not make this mistake.But, my question to BP is whom should I attempt to get reimbursed?

As a new agent, you need a brokerage who will, first, teach you what it takes to be a successful agent in your market and, second, hold you accountable on a daily basis.

James great job holding yourself accountable and even better job taking action and learning from you mistake. 

Example 2:On my most recent rehab- I made the seller two offers: one at 21k and the other purchase at 25k if he was willing to hold mortgage and wait 6-9 months to get paid.

I recently finished reading "HOLD"  by Steve Chader and Jennice Doty and it was a phenomenal book that broke down every step of the process for analyzing, buying, and managing a rental property.

We plan to create a separate LLC to hold the property as well. 

We have a rental in DC and also run an AirBnB here in Richmond, but this would be our first buy and hold property in the area.

I think I am mainly interested in buy & hold properties.
