Any advice on a step by step plan for flipping homes in my area 2.

Just wanted to know what would be the basic steps in order to get that started

Not accounting for deferred maintenance when initially purchasing a deal2.

Once you solve the problem of sourcing Off-Market deals, the next step is finding cash buyers.

I do initial phone screening then have the application emailed.

Initial thoughts : a duplex or SFH with an on-site apartment.

Hi All,Is anyone aware of a calculator or spreadsheet that allows you to plug in an initial investment, a CoC percentage, and IRR to generate an overall projected ROI over a number of years?

I would tell them the problem didn't exist before they occupied and that you've taken steps to keep it from happening again.

You can always change your profile settings to only show the first initial of your last name. 

I'd second @Lexi Teifke, you should be able to pull out your initial investment and still own a cash flowing asset.
