Make sure you have good power of sale clause, as well as having them sign a quit claim deed in advance so if they do stop paying, you don't have to chase them down or spend money to get it from them, if they vacate and disappear.

Therefore, I get bored and spend a lot of time on sites like BP trying to expand my real estate investing knowledge!

Happy to network and assist.

I called my current lender for the house I live in now (30 year note) and asked if they can assist me. 

I’m primarily interested in flipping houses and/or buy/hold rental properties so I can eventually not have to work a 9-5 job and can spend more time with the kids and wife. 

Thanks in advance for any assistance and guidance you can provide.

Anyway, I could spend more time at work and it would increase my income.

I'm not sure if this is even possible, or if it would be a better idea to rent an apartment for the first year to get settled into the area and spend time looking for deals during that first year.

Spend money on a Home inspection.

What if you dont do the rehab and spend the money on something else?
