@Patrick Gray -  Not going to sugar coat this, you need to get your bankroll up.

things go wrong, if they sugar coat it and say that every deal goes smoothly I would run away from that individual. 

In the meantime, I'm saving my pennies anticipating I'm going to have about a $15,000 legal bill next year if I do in fact need to redeem the other five properties (and I plan on marketing the two I acquire this year as quickly as possible to cover that bill for next year).For what it's worth, I did have one lien that was paid off after noticing this year....my net loss was about $35.  

It is worth every penny.  

Penny Where you able to find a property in Edmond, would love to here what happened?

Scraping the ceilings, replacing the flooring, and hitting it with a coat of Kilz before a second coat of paint did the trick.

I know many will disagree with me, but I find self managing to save money penny wise and pound foolish.

A good GC is worth every penny.

Hello @Penny Brown , I love how you listed my lending options in order of precedence.

In Oklahoma termites and structural damage is not a matter of if but when and sometimes my clients from out of state aren't aware of that.....also deteriorating ductwork if in the slab (70's-80's) is very common because of the moisture and it is expensive to coat the plenum/replace boots....even more so to run it over head.
