If Bargain Hunters won't give you profit on what you're "paying" the Seller - you "paid" too much!

Even if you don't profit greatly or at all on your first flip, the experience will be priceless. 

Rood and siding is in good condition, and the first major expense I see in the next five years would be replacing all windows. with a 15 year mortgage, at 5% (I'd rather budget high than low) cash flow would be 6056/year.

If any of you live in the area I would love to connect with you and learn different ways on how to get my career started and also become a major help to you as well. 

If following that 30% profit rule of thumb (so $39,000 profit on an ARV of $130k), there'd have to be $55 worth of work that would need to be done to justifiably offer $35k.  

I've purchased a used fridge for $200 that has done well for me over the years. some people prefer to buy new fridges rather than clean out their existing perfectly good one, and those discarded units taken away from an new purchase delivery are the ones that I usually end up buying once the retailer cleans them out and makes 100% profit.

Allowed a two month project to yield a profit over $20,000.

I think all you need is a title company to close your transactions - no don't need an account at this time - most title companies have lawyers to close your transactions -You should make sure that you buy real estate at a giant discount - Understand the management process - learn how to be a good landlord - a tenant is a customer - the tenant is the person who will pay for your mortgage - treat them well.Find discounted real estate from landlords who find themselves in rent court -Start to deal directly with owners - I don't think you should depend on agents selling retail properties - you need to go under-ground for great deals -Tax salesPublic AuctionsRun print ads and radio commercialsInternet - 5 weeks ago I created an internet site - I have received over 200 leads - have 70 offers out there and 15 ratified contracts - learn those systems and you will do well.Expired listings - go knock on some of those doors - an expired listing is  FAILURE of property to sell - I am sure the sellers are not happy - go find them and solve their problems.Direct mail to commercial properties owners - commercial buildings can be  great profit center - when you advertise for real estate - signs - internet or mailings always advertise - WANTED REAL ESTATE - houses - commercial and non-conforming properties - all cash -as is - no commission.

If it were just the 2 units the 2 couples could agree on a reasonable rent and then subtract that out of their share of the profit. 

The lower priced fix and flips are definitely hot commodities in most major markets if the location is decent.
